All 2st About the Mikuni/Keihin swap:

Anyone try the new VP 94 Octane Small Engine Gas? Pricey, but 10% Ethanol Gasoline is tougher to jet for than old MTBE gas.

Here is the 06 KTM carb. Kind of expensive.

There might be another 10% off with a ktmtalk membershipt though, not sure.

It looks like a normal PWK.

I think for that price I would just get the normal PWK with a JD kit from Kelly assuming it is not too hard to sqeeze in there. With a PWK you don't have to take the carb off to change jets anyway.

Ok. I order one tomorrow. It seems that everyone is so positive to it, so i give it a try. Who is the cheapest and best to buy from? I want it with the JD needles and maybe a power one insert too. Anyone got a phonenumber for me? It needs to be delivered to Sweden too! A PWK 38 Airstriker it will be!

Do you have part number for Power Now for 38mm PWK Air Striker?
Thanks

New style TMX, you can change pilot as well as main jet through drain plug hole.

You can change the pilot on the PWK without removing the carb. You do have to remove the float bowl though.

I have not found the pilot to matter much anyway on a 125. With the air screw you can fine tune also.

Woodshottie,

The stock cable works well just remove the curved cable holder off your TMXX and install it on the PWK. It makes taking the top off slightly more difficult but not really an issue. Just adjust the cable holder so it has enough room to unscrew the top.

No need for oops! I didn't realize it until I pulled it apart the first time.

I just had two big days of riding and also not happy with bikes carby performance. On the tricky hills you have to be fully committed ( flat out) and if you have to stop due to someone falling in front of you it wouldnt pull a hill start. (Embarrassing and hard work in the heat)
Seems to have trouble getting into the band and then when it is it goes hard .
Seems to be a lean bog but then at other times seems too rich and not clean.
Id try a carb swap but I think It also needs some more cubic inches

My bike (wr300) does this with the stock mikuni carb too.

It does seem to be a little more sensitive to AS adjustments, or maybe the 2nd needle clip is just a smidgen lean for morning desert temps (30's and 40's right now).

Yes, i guess there is no problem to find the carb here, but the price for a new from you is about the same as the price for a used one here, and i want it with the JD kit in it. What´s the price incl. delivery to Sweden from you?

go for it johnnymannen!

I'm curious to hear how folks like it that didn't really have any major problems with the mikuni on the 300.

What slides are you folks using in the PWK 38 125s?

Thanks! That probably just sealed the deal for me to buy the Motosportz package instead of trying to rejet a cheapie used PWK that is available locally. It has a 5.5 slide, and the slides aren't exactly cheap. Turns out to be very close pricewise--might as well get a new carb and help a Husky brother at the same time.
