I'm not a carby! ;D

Reed or piston port?
Stock or modified?

30mm RT1 carb is the cheapest/easiest upgrade.
34mm RT1MX carb is better, but much harder to find.
A proper race motor will want a 36mm, and some work to adapt it to fit.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

34mm flange mount Mikuni is the go or fit a rubber manifold to take a slip on fit 34mm carby. I think the manifold on mine is from a TM 400 Suzuki with the bolt holes opened a little. I can't help with jetting Shane as mine hasn't been run in anger yet and my other DT1 has a 34mm Amal on methanol so that's no good to you.

32mm or 34mm
buy a VM 200 or 400 ( have to look at the number) off the shelf rubber Mukuni rubber mount. bolts stright on and in, no messing around or drilling required ( can give part number or just buy from IWT and post.
I can give you the jet specs in a PM if you like, im almost built mine and will recheck with a flat jet run this weekend on a 32mm the others are really too big and the air ratio get out of whack for mx you might be able to pull it in a DT but keep under 34mm to get eh response and pull out of it.
remember PPort will need a fat pilot and a lean main, remember MUkumis are cumlative .
