mikuni flange part number
« on: 15.08. 2011 17:37 »
Hey gang
  anyone know what mikuni flange adapter (part number or size) that i'd need to use to try a mikuni VM on my A10? Have a nice VM laying around and was curious how it would compare with my 389 running wise.

thx!
 mike

MAP has the adapters as well.  If your Monobloc is clapped out, the mikuni has the potential to be much better, but don't expect any miracles.  Also, I hope you have a good selection of jets and needles for the Mik, and a box of spark plugs: you're gonna need 'em.  Here's a useful guide for jetting:

The chart is particularly useful.

 Hey Alex
 yes went thru it on my Norton before switching to a flatslide (thus the extra VM) -  so lots of jets etc....

i know its sick - but i actually like playing w/ carbs and seeing what works -  even though it seems at times like you end up more confused than when you started
