You really gonna Bogart the brew?
Now back to a previously scheduled bike build :-D
Pmcg:
I'm looking for some opinions for my carb. I'm not sure if I want to rebuild my stock carb or run a 44mm Mikuni VM series (Idea taken directly from the power mods thread). It looks like I can pick up the Mikuni brand new from flebay for about 120.00 Any information is appreciated.

Depends on the rest of your build... Takes many mods to make a 44mm carb beneficial .. I recall the 44mik don't fit the stock frame setup without mods... Could be wrong
I run a 44 Lectron with a power jet. I'm happy with it
Pmcg:
Thanks for the heads up. I really don't want to modify the frame right now. I'm thinking rebuilding the stock and getting the jetting set correctly is my best bet for now. From my reading it looks like my bigger bore 88mm will require a smaller jet. This makes no sense to me. After using the search function I think I will start out with the Team Green specs which will hopefully be a bit rich and jet down based on the plug
Main: 170
clip: spot 2
pilot: 55
air screw: 2 turns out

I'm getting ready to put in a parts order. I'm planning on ordering all the crankcase seals and bearings oem as I can't find a bearing house willing to guarantee non Chinese bearings.
I'm not planning on replacing the clutch release roller bearings as I can't get the lower 1 out.
I plan on ordering all new transmission snap rings
Anything I'm missing for the lower end rebuild?
