    I am new to this site but have enjoyed it greatly. Such a wealth of information and beautiful bikes from the past!! I am needing some information continue my quest to revive my 1984 500 AE. I need some timing information and some help finding some carb parts or repair service for the 40mm Mikuni that might have some parts. They were robbed out of it and trying to find a 40mm has been tough. Thanks

    put a 38mm on it, easier to start, better selection of jets and improved low end.

    Husqvarna-parts has 40mm carb jets in stock,there the same as other
    mikuni, i just got some from Phillip for my 84 500CR.
    If your looking for a carb i got 2 off Ebay.

    I'd stick with the 40mm, the 84 500 got plenty of low end, unlike the
    82-1/2 with it's 44mm & 83 with poorer jetting stock.

    If you change to a 38mm remember U need to find a new intake &
    air box boots, i had the opposite problem, mine had a 38 & finding
    40 boots was big $ :eek:
