Title: Keihin vs Mikuni ?
Post by: EML on December 09, 2010, 09:28:16 am
We've been advised to switch to Keihin smooth bore as they are supposed to be much easier to tune than Mikunis-what's the word??

How can anything be easier to jet than a Round side Muk ? 

I reckon even my mum could figure out the number system........

It's a Holden or Ford question, there is no right answer. So Freaky said the VM Mikuni is as good as any and dead easy to tune.

Nah, if I really was I would have answered AMAL ;D
I wasn't being a smart arse with my Bing answer either. They might blubber and leak a little but nothing works better on a pre 80 era piston port open class two stroke full stop*. I may even fit one to my Cheney Yamaha. Once a Bing man.....always a Bing man. ;)

*Of course the carb must be in perfect condition, worn Bings are at the other end of the equation, they cause all sorts of tuning problems and are the reason many people hate them.

Well I a Holley man myself but I've even thought of a couple of SUs or how about a sidedraught Webber?
Seriously those Blue Magnums were the go back in the day but I've been told that some Wally will protest.

Just get rid of the bloody engine and put a 2 stroke in it so we can go racing

Jumbo replica class or the nearest thing we ever had was the hunble water bottle-sounds pretty much the same...just twice as wide and three times the weight.

Get a pair of 36 dellortos I reckon, they are pretty easy to set up, should be big enough for your engine

How much 270 and why aren't you using them......?
Rule 1 always be suspicious of the opposition

$550 U.S will buy you a pair (matched pair, same jets and slides in both carbs!! ;D) of dellortos with cables
Or better still, Walter will sell you a set of carbs for around $20k,
They come with a free EML and a shitload of spares, including Kroeber ignition!

but aren't we supposed to run a two stroke carb on the left and a four stroke one on the right....hang on maybe it's the two stroke one on the right...shit, maybe that's where we're going wrong................??
