Mikuni parts

[Rossvickicampbell]

Guys - just chasing some small parts for Mikuni carb - any suggestions as to whom to buy from - and please don't suggest Hatricks - haven't had any joy there at all in fact the guy on the phone (not Tom) was quite rude.

cheers

I have found Hatricks good to deal with, I must admit it helps if you have part numbers they don't like looking up things for you, they are used to dealing with the trade dealers.  What are you looking for?

[Rossvickicampbell]

ta guys.  Just some locknuts and cable adjusters for the top of the carby.  Was told they were nil stock, expecting stock but stock hasn't turned up best go to a wreckers!

I will try Ian Williams - others reckon they are pretty good also - should of thought of him myself.

I get sponsored by IAn, Just mention your a mate of mine and they will misteriously appear, i know i was working on foot pegs in there on Thursday and a saw a box of unsed mukuni bodies etc in the corner Tub.      HE may also have new ones as he has the full Muk range in there for the Kart guys.

Ross get back to me about those NOS YZa cables if you want one,  The part numbers is: 431-26341-02-00.  The sprockets are 48T and the part number is: 431-25448-04-xx. ASAP.  I need to tell the Guy to hold them or sold them.    ( sell didnt rhyme as well)

[Rossvickicampbell]

thanks Freaky - have replied about the cable - yes please.

If I mention your name does the price go up?

cheers

Show and Go in SA may be able to help

[LWC82PE]

Show and Go are Kehine. They will just send you across town to www.iwt.com.au for Mikuni. As others have said, Ian Williams is great with 2 strokes and Mikunis.

Hatrics or williams nothing but good service from Hatrics

Hatricks prices are outrageous and don't give any advice, Ian on the other hand has very keen prices, a wealth of tuning experience and most bits in stock. Easy really.

[Rossvickicampbell]

Yeah I am quite surprised - Tom at Hatricks via email has been good but still doesn't have the aprts I want in stock and when I rang through with credit card details the guy on the phone was a pain in the ar--e.  Ian got back to me within hours and has the parts in stock - so guess who gets my business?

Thanks for the heads up gents.

Thats my experience too.After being told that the needle jet taht I wanted didn't exist and wasting $ after$ ordering other jets from them to try and work around it to no avail.I managed to get hold of the sudco manual which listed the original needle jet that I wanted .When I mentioned this to the guy at Hatricks he changed the story from it doesn't exist to well they do exist but we haven't go any! IN THE MEANTIME I HAD PLACED 3 ORDERS AND SPENT ABOUT $250 ON NEEDLES , MAINS AND PILOTS THAT i NOW DON'T NEED.

LWC82PE, I think I order'd some round slide mikuni needles and jets from show and go about eighteen months ago. From memory Show and Go supplied me, invoiced me and I paid Show and Go. Maybe they sourced from some where else, I dont know, but all comunications I had were with Show and Go. I think.

I would like to add my praise of the service provided by Ian Williams. I was after some slides for 38mm VM Mikunis that I run on my 500 Yamahas a few weeks ago. Ian was unable to supply slides with the cutaway I wanted but gave me the info required to machine my exiting slides to the required cutaway. This is the first time he hasn't had a part I wanted, but he solved my problems anyway.
