Vm22 Choke Position

Hi there

I've just fitted a mikuni vm22 carb to my bantam

Simple question.....

Choke on, is it with plunger up or down ?. (ie lever down puts plunger up, lever up puts plunger down if you see what I mean !)

Also has anyone changed main jet size ?

Many thanks

John

the main advantage of a mikuni is that its made out of decent metal {unlike Amal} and wont wear out quickly.

my only experience of Amal v Mikuni is with my own Ossa , this had an amal fitted - it was a pig to start and hard to get to run nicely, despite being reconditioned by an amal specialist {with new chrome slide,float, jets etc. }

after lots of messing about I gave up with the Amal and fitted a VM26 Mikuni, it now starts easily and runs smoothly all through the rev range. this was 5 years ago and I havent had to touch the carb in that time.

I am sure there are people who love Amal carbs and have no problems with them but from my own experience I would not have one fitted to a bike that I own.

and yes plunger down is off for the choke..
