robf Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hi guys Can I swap the standard TK carb for a 26mm Mikuni as a straight swap ? Is the inlet rubber and the air filter hose the same ? I am assuming that I can just get a Mikuni and pop it on but I decided it might be sensible to ask first ... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy53 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I did it last year ( a VM Mikuni ) I had to sort out the jetting. It was not easy since my TY A is not stock. But yes they fit right on. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robf Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks for the reply I bought one and it fits just fine - when I get my ignition sorted I can see how well it runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon v8 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Should be fine,I've recently "lent" a mate of mine a Mikuni to go on his Ty250a - he says it works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robf Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Update ... After fitting the carb and throwing in some fresh petrol the bike still wouldn't start I had put a new plug in but the spark was VERY weak and I decided to go straight to an electronic ignition kit rather than muck about with the points ( lazy I know ) After fitting the kit ( from TY Trials ) I gave the bike a half hearted kick on the kickstart to get some fuel in the cylinder and it started first kick :-) It sounds very bunged up ( exhaust I assume ) but after setting the tickover it actually will sit on tickover At least now I have a running bike ( a very ugly running bike ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy53 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Exhaust? probably. Air filter ? Most likely Timming? I'd surely check, but your on a Yamaha, so you will have fun. Guy Ho Lord... I sound like I have a favorite prejudice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
