Dave1323 Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Hey all, I thought I'd send a message on the forum which I've been looking at a lot lately as I've bought an old beta techno trial bike as my first bike. It's been a lot of fun but I've had some issues with the bike and the latest has been chewing up spark plugs and now not starting. It seemed to be a fuel issue and as I was investigating I noticed the carb seems to be not only not the original mikuni vm26 but a cheap Chinese keihin copy. I've sourced the original carb for $670 through beta but that is not what I want to spend. Does anyone know of a better alternative?

trailmeisterjoe Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Search EBAY for a good condition used oem one and rebuild internals if needed. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1323 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Thanks for the quick reply Joe, can't see any available for that bike which was the mikuni vm26-208, there are vm26-606, do you know if this would work without too much modding?

Dave1323 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 There is a kit from oko Australia that I found out about through Trialtech moto Australia. Does anyone know much about OKO carbs? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullylover Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 The OKO is a very good carb. I have 3 of them on my 350 Sherpa T`s. Dennis is the bloke who runs TrialTech Moto. Make sure you get the real ones and not the Chinese ones. They are crap! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1323 Posted February 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Just wondering if anyone has successfully mounted a Keihin pwk28 on a techno? Obviously the idle and mix screws are on the exhaust side so a bit of a p.i.t.a but would be great if it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
