What's the round baffle plate under the Mikuni main jet called?
« on: October 28, 2013, 02:30:52 pm »
I need to buy the round baffle that sits under the main jet (VM36) but I don't know what is called by Mikuni, the Kawasaki parts list calls it a 'holder, needle jet'.  Anyone know?

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Yamaha refers to it as washer, main jet.
Looking at the online sudco catalogue mikuni refers to it as main jet ring, part #vm36/17 for vm30-vm38 spigot mount carbs or part#vm28/228 for vm28-vm28 & vm40-vm44 spigot mount carbs. Have a look at page 206
Hope that's of some help
