has anyone used one of these? they are so cheap and come in a variety of sizes..i have seen from 18mm to 30mm. i guess the concern would be where would you get jets?

Hmm

Are they true Mikuni's or taper bores?

well, not true mikunis, full bore or taper bore I guess

The 22mm to 26mm(mikuni's) on ebay will use the regular jets from AGk or NRG (or shhhh your local Honda motorcycle shop $1.50 each). Also those three take the same metering rod and tube. I only know about these 3. They are cast with the Mikuni name on the side and look exactly like a carb off of a Honda 125-250 cc. So I'm guessing they are either a China knock off or they are just cheap. They work that's all that matters.

is that a taper bore? i dont think that would bother me as i am not searching for every last percent of horsepower. is the animal intake the one to use with that mikuni?

I believe this is a Taper bore style. You can use a animal style intake but you will have to modify the intake so that it will work. I believe it involves re-drilling holes but not sure if that's all that has to be done.

vette 66... what size is that mikuni? can you tell me what the screw on the right side, when facing from filter side of carb, does?

Jay Wrix · 02-09-2010, 05:49 PM

It is a taper bore, should perform sweet thou

The screw in question is the idle adjustment screw, ( makes the venturi open more or less)
