Title: Mikuni round slide sizes
Post by: RMJJ on June 29, 2009, 08:58:55 pm

Can anyone explain to me why the VM32 carby as fitted to a 1980 RM125 has a physically smaller slide than the VM32ss as fitted to a 1981 RM125.
I'm not taking cut outs, the slides are different sizes. I cant get my head round why this should be and what effect it has.

It doesn't make any difference. If the venturi diameter is 32mm on both carbys then they work the same.

I don't know why they are a different size but the point is it doesn't matter.

For different applications they have different model carbys i guess. I don't really know why it is, but you would need to know model numbers when ordering parts.
