Hi all

 

has anyone changed the Mikuni for a different carb (flat slide for e.g.) ?

Jim Evans from the Beamish owners club had one on a 325 he was restoring(see picture)

maybe email him from the site for info on the carb used.

I've just put an OKO 28mm on mine (non power jet) as the original carb was no longer any good.

 

Initial jetting is 48 pilot, standard 112 main,  needle, needle tube and slide all standard (by standard I mean what they come with)  Needle raised one clip from standard

 

First impression is good, It has loads of torque, picks up very well of idle and pulls really well in first to third up climbs. I've a spare flywheel fitted with about 10oz shaved off it which helps pick up but I doubt it needs it. It's a strong motor.

 

I haven't yet given it any real stick as it's a new engine build but at most I may try the next size up on the main as there is the faintest trace of pinking when hot.
