clarkp Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Re-posted for future use; thank you Billy and RonM! Mikuni Carb Setup By Billy T After receiving my 02 Beta Rev 3 I am very pleased with the bike. I am getting quite a few recommendations on how to set the bike up and what areas to change or set. One particular area is the carb. I have heard many statements regarding the float level and how to set it up. This setting of the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boofont Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Trying to follow this guide but I'm struggling. How do I set up the tangs? The guide doesn't say, do I have to bend them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yep just bend the little center tab be carefull mind Must admit it took me ages too figure that bit out was looking for and adjustment somewere, but give that little tab a tweak and you`ll be away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Boofont, dont bend the tangs, bend the small centre tab only, make sure you get it bent nice and straight. I had Steve Saunders do the drilling mod as well, bike is cured now, also tapped the atmosphere pipe towards the barrel a little so the pipe does nt get bent and closed when its near the exhaust. The extra float bowl mod is also usefull, should stop pinking up the hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 And what about the little tab that sticks up on its own? The extra float bowl mod is also usefull, should stop pinking up the hills Whats this then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Its an extension for the float bowl, looks like a big red nut on the bottom of the carb, also comes with a main jet shroud. Think they are about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 This is the full drilling mod: - http://www.kdmototrials.com.au/Tech_MIKUNIFix1.pdf Heath has the BillyT mod somewhere on his website at http://www.r2wtrials.com I once sent him some photo's of the carb mid-mod so to speak. Have a look and see if you can find them before you start bending bits of metal.

gregkabob Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Here's a pic of the carb that I found a while back. Sorry I can't give credit to who's pic it is. This helped me understand the words on Billy's set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Well I've done the mod and noticed two things. Firstly, the bike seems much sharper? Secondly, it still leaks fue, although not as bad. Now it just seems to leak small amount and then stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
