I have a question re eligilibty, what are the restrictions on Pre 65 carbies, are roundslide Mikunis legal, this a genuine question, I am building up a 67 Husky 250 and do not have a carby for it, a Mikuni would be a good choice.

[LWC82PE]

carbies were discussed a few pages back in this topic. have a read back through the pages and see if you find the answer you need there.

The Pre 65 class - A matchless running internal ignition, will it need to have a dummy magneto to restore external appearance?

[VMX247]

I found on page 158 of the MA bible-
rule 18.6.0.1 Engines must remain externally unchanged.
rule 18.6.0.5 Ignition:Any ignition system can be used as long as the external appearance of the engine remains unchanged..
hope this helps ?
cheers

The Pre 65 class - A matchless running internal ignition, will it need to have a dummy magneto to restore external appearance?

No. You'll be right.

love you too Walter,   sorry for helping a fellow bike enthusiast out.

MIKUNI CARBURETTORS

Hi lads,

I know this has been mentioned before, but I'm still in the dark...

For the national classic titles in 2009.

Can I run a round slide Mikuni carby in the Pre 65 class
Can I run a flat slide Mikuni in the Pre 78 Open class.

Both these bikes are set up with these carbies now and are running perfectly.

Do I have to change both of them to be eligible for both classes.

I'm willing to change them if I have to - I just want a definitive answer.

Cheers,
Mark

I wouldn't think you could run a flat slide Mikuni in pre '78 or even evo as they weren't on production bikes til around '82.

[mboddy]

So what carbies can be used?
This is a list of some common carbies and their availability date:
Lectron (non powerjet) 1976
Lectron powerjet 1979
Mikuni powerjet (roundslide) 1979
Mikuni TM 1982
Keihin PJ 1985
Mikuni TMX 1987
Keihin PWK 1988
Mikuni TMS 1992
Mikuni PM 1998
Keihin PWM 1999

Therefore as the flatslide Mikuni was not available in 1977 it cannot be used in Pre-78.

Mboddy, that list of carburetor elegibility you just quoted. It kinda looks official. If so can it be viewed anywhere.

Taa

[mboddy]

I did a lot of eligibility research when I was the PCRA New Era eligibility guy.
This list is just what I found out.

[211kawasaki]

The carb question will be as so.

Pre 78 and older will not be able to use a flat slide

EVO, and Pre 85 will be able to use a flat slide of any type.

Guys
the minutes of the Commission should be with your state LCBs

Can I suggest if your interested your club gets a copy and responds through their state committee as soon as possible.

I will be available to discuss any aspect of the proposals at CD6 if you want just find 211 and the KK Kompound.

Pre 78 and older will not be able to use a flat slide

Why not?
