mtwallet Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 i see most people on here talking about the dellorto carb and how good they are,ive got a dellorto that was taken off my old 95 techno,the local bike shop told me at the time that they were no good and convinced me to fork out for a new mikuni which i did,but made no difference to the bike.the numbers on the carb is phbh26 cd,its got the adjustment screws on the correct side as well as the choke lever,can anyone shed any light on the subject,as to is this the same carb everyone is on about,if not would this make any difference to my rev 3 over the stock mikuni.it came off a 250 techno and my new bike is a 270 rev 3 thats had the float bowl mod and the floats set,and i dont have any fuel leak problems or any starting problems pointing up or down hill,cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 If you havent got any of the usual Mikuni problems on your carb (leaking and starting downhill) stick with it. The Dellorto does make a big difference in running but I would only buy one mainly to get rid of the Mikuni problems rather than smoother running. The Dellorto can have its own problems via dirt getting in and abit of a pig to get back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtwallet Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 As was mentioned to me by John Lampkin a while back... they have ridden at 10 years at the ssdt and many world rounds with the Mikuni, why do people want to change. Just take some time to set it up and you will be fine. I noticed Michael Brown did ok on a 250 with a Mikuni carb on at the Brit championship round at the weekend!! ... the same machine that he finished 2nd on at the ssdt im going to stick to the mikuni,as i said there are no problems whatsoever with it,bike runs really nice,just heard people going on about the dellorto and how they change the response of the bike and i was a bit curious.i had the mikuni on my old techno too with no problems and my mate now has it,still no probs with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
