Mikuni vs........
- Thread starter gumpit
- Start date
I would think it has something to do with the fact that the fuel is sucked into the bore at the choke point(throttle) in the Mikuni. The SA carbs have the choke point downstream from the jet thingy so at mid-throttle the jet has less velocity over it and therefore less vacuum pulling the fuel up the jet.
Both carbs use their own principals pretty well so I guess it comes down to the throat size and what you want to work on.

Once I cut a flange and weld up an intake, I have an 18mm Mikuni going on the Trail Flite I bought from you Randy haha. I’m hoping it will give the throttle more range, wish the stock carb had more range. Seems to go from idle to WOT in a quarter turn. I don’t have the cable yet and I suspect I will have to check the jets, it may have been an alky carb before me, I forget. Looking forward to seeing if it improves the riding experience.
I have a 33mm Mikuni on my drag bike but that thing only sees WOT and is kind of irrelevant other than to say that it works great and has given me zero problems.
