Will that fit on the 38 mm holes?

Center to center 60 mm

it won't be cheap but if you really want your carb troubles gone call Lectron they can make just about any of their carbs fit any hole as far as od and length is concerned and as long as your not looking for a real screamer up top i wouldn't go any bigger than a 34

 

[Caden]

Well I'm gonna be doing a combination. When I was riding hard and reaching rev limiter the bike bobbed and and chugged unlike anything I've ever seen on my bikes. But if I can find a 34mm adapter that'll work then I'll go with a 34mm. If you guys can give me the number for lectron I'll call them and get an estimate. Because I'm looking at $100-$120 for a new carb and flang depending on what size I go

That's way out of my price range. Those cost more than what I bought the bike for.

you cannot get Ferrari performance with a Volkswagen budget. it is what it is. run it as it is then. $100 is not going to make a hill of beans either way.

Understood you are on a tight $$ but there you go

 

[Caden]

I do understand that. And I'm thankful for all of your guys knowledge. But I'm 15 and I don't have a stable income. So I'm stuck with a Volkswagen budget for a few more months. Like I said thank you guys. And when I start getting a stable job I'll buy all the stuff I need to make her better than new. I'm going to call around and get prices for parts. She only needs a new transmission cover,carb,rubber, New piston and ring wouldn't hurt. Everything else is fine. You guys are literally the saviors of my project

 

[troy deck]

ok just calm down first if you got the bike less than the price of a Lectron you stole it but before we go any farther maybe you need to put up some pics so all us old dudes can see WTH we are dealin with

 

[Caden]

What do you guys want pictures of? I don't have plastics or an exhaust on it. I'll post when I get it of school

 

[Joe Chod]

key to keeping it til you get some $$ is keep the oil clean keep the aircleaner clean, and if the rubber on either side of the carb is bad then do not run til you fix that.


Pistons are tough to get for those as well and just the piston is more than a carb.

once you damage any of that stuff
tough to find replacement
if you do find, big bucks,
put the money into the mechanical. do not worry about the looks

 

[Joe Chod]

Also...what do you mean no exhaust?

 

[suprize]

I has no exhaust fitted for piccies I believe joe

The Mikuni VM36 is exactly the same physical size and will work much better than a 38. All you have to do to adapt the 34mm is make the area of the carb that the engine manifold and the airbox boot clamp to larger in diameter. On my bike I used to strips of bicycle tube for the engine side and a thick plumbing flexible coupling on the airbox side. You can get the plumbing coupler at any hardware store.

You slip a section of the coupler over the airbox side of the carb to fill the space to the airbox boot, then clamp it all down.

I have the exhaust taken off. And I called halls. The have a piston that's for a bored motor I just gotta figure how much my pistons bored the bikes mid way through restoration in the take down process

Dear Kartwheel68, do you have an idea of basic setting of carburation for a Mikuni VM 34 on a Husky 125 1982?
Thanks

It was several years ago, I do not have that carburetor on the bike and I did not write down my jetting, but it was not very far off the jetting that comes in a generic Mikuni 34mm.

 

[suprize]

i have the tech specs for that model. pm me and i can email them to you

 

[Kartwheel68]

I have the stock tech specs, but it came with a 38mm carb and he was asking what I used in the 34mm carb.
