I recently purchased aftermarket mikuni vm20 carburetors for my 1970 cl175. I went to install them on OEM intake manifolds and they do not align. I realized that the bracket on the carburetor is symmetrical while the manifold is offset. Does anybody know an aftermarket manifold that will work or...

How do. It's been a while . . . I've finally fitted some Mikunis to the 450 that I've had sitting in a box for about four years. Fitting them was pretty straightforward - can't remember exactly where I got them from, but they came with intake manifold adapters. They needs dialing in - the...

After a whole lot of tail chasing, finally got my carbs dialled in for the bike. One would think you would leave good enough alone, right? Nope. She was idling a little low, so I decided to turn it up a bit by adjusting the throttle stop screws. End result was a 'spitting' carb (best way to...

Hey all- Like the title says, I'm new to jetting carbs. I had gotten decent at tuning up my Keihins but wanted to try and see how the bike would run with Mikunis installed. I started with: 185 Main 35 Pilot 6DH7 Jet Needle 2.0 Air Jet 159 P-5 Needle Jet With that set up I am able to hold an...

DH8A spark plugs show white insulator with some tiny brown specks - specks reportedly indicate detonation so thinking lean mix... However... insulator also shows a smoke ring at the base so main jet and plug heat range seem compatible. Also it gets a higher top speed with a leaner main jet...

In the space of a week, my bike went from the best it's ever ran to not running at all on the right cylinder without choke. The only way I'm verifying this is that the right side header is only warm, not scald your skin clean off hot. If anybody has a better way to verify if a cylinder is...

Hi guys, I've got my first bike, and I'm having a few issues I'd love to learn to solve. It's a 1971 CL350. The previous owner had replaced the stock carbs with Mikuni's. Overall it runs great, but I've noticed that one carb tends to "leak" a lot of gas out of the overflow tube. (I think...

I was looking at running the vm32's with K&N filters on my '82 CB5450sc. I can't find anywhere if i can throw these on and be fine or if i'll need to change other parts as well. I know ill need a 2 into 1 throttle cable, but aside from that, will i need to change anything to mount these puppies...

Hi guys, my project is a ’69 CL350, and I’m looking for some feedback on where to start with Jetting. The cylinder is currently at the machinist being bored to fit my new 1.5mm (65.5mm) oversized pistons from Boretech. He also has my head and is doing a full-on valve and head job, including...

Has anyone done this successfully? I've searched and searched and only seen the VM's setup on a CL350 that's all stock except for a Charlie's Place electronic ignition. I've got the correct throttle cable, intake manifolds, pod air-filters and a bunch of jets. It's the actual physical mounting...

Hey Guys, So i finally successfully rebuilt my motor. So Stoked!!! thanks for the helpful words. Now what is next is getting those carbs tuned. Here's the skinny. I put some Mikuni VM32's on there. Running pods, a Mack 2 into 1 exhaust with an aftermarket pipe with no baffle, and wrapped the...
