        Re Mikuni Jetting. g465b  has given a  good starting point. But some Mikunis have a small Air Correction Jet in the small hole in the Carb inlet.

        If this hole has a thread in it the jet should be a 0.5.  This Jet effects Starting and 1/4 Throttle.   If there is no thread do not worry about it.

         
Be very aware that it may have bad Detonation and Pinging in the mid to 3/4 throttle  range.                     With todays Fuel you may have to run a ritcher Needle and or Needle Jet.   

  Do some testing before running the engine at race pace.   Or Engine damage will result.              Even Maico 1.01 states this when running a BING carburetor.
