Title: Need Carb I.D
Post by: hughes on March 09, 2007, 04:46:09 AM

Hey guy's I need to know what series of Mikuni carb my 87 KX500 has. I'm at work and don't have my service manaul(cylmer book) with me at work. I have sudco book and need to order some jets. Can some one look up that info for me today? Thanks.

I'm a little late in getting this, but the '86 is a Mikuni VM series.

I thought when I got home I would look up the carb in my service book, but my bud has it. What's the throat size for an 87? Thanks.

Thanks. I need to order a new jet needle or needle. I'll see what Sudco has. Thanks.

Other sources for jets? Sudco wants you to buy 4 jets. I need a Q-8 or even a Q-6 jet needle for the above carb.

Cool. I have a 360,350 main jet. What other sizes of mains do you have? I might be able to use a 340 main, I'm running the 350 now. I'll know more once I can clean up my 1/4 to 3/4 throttle range with those jet needles. Let me know the price for the jets. P.m sent.
