I see alot of people buying the cheaper Mikuni's they think are 22mm carbs.... On the taper bore carbs they are usually 4mm smaller than advertised due to the taper from the gasket surface to the venturi
(4mm taper)..... If you look on the mounting flange of the carb there will be a 2 digit number stamped in the carb like 16,18,20,22,24, 26 ect ect.... On Mikunis that 2 digit number is the actual size of the carb (venturi)..... If you want a 22mm then you'll want to get a 26mm taper bore or an Actual VM series 22mm... The actual VM series carbs will also have the MM size stamped into the casting somewhere near the mounting area of the carb...
No matter what the mm size of the gasket surface or inlet is, the carb will only flow as much air as the venturi size..
