Well it starts with them, full bore runs ok..but way too much fuel as half the gas tank seems to be in the crankcase while trying to figure out the tune.

And after reading and rereading that thread it is about setting up vm30s not 34s. Because of the blah blah blah statements. I know folks have used them on the Kawasaki 400s but I guess that information won't be found here...

No the search didn't, and I knew that thread existed as I had read it before but then couldn't find it again. I swear using the search and uploading more than one picture on this forum is like black magic.. Many thanks.

Topic is vm34s on a sohc. So I know most folks will say..blah blah blah too big for the Xs, but they are what I have.. What is a good place to start on jetting. Open cone filters, mildly ported head, open exhaust for now (will have some drop in baffles eventually) I have searched and did...

Did you ever get the bike running on these?

I have one on the parts bike, that has become closer to running than a parts bike so long answer I don't want to break up the bike, short answer no. As far as a frame with title yes, I have an almost complete bike. It's missing the wiring harness, and controls otherwise it's all there with...

Lots of folks use the combo, As they were standard on later bikes. I prefer separate because they are cheap at the junkyards here. Here's the get your bike running schem. Bypasses all the thing that aren't needed to at least get the bike running.

Hilarious, I am generally a stellar mechanic but sometimes I get lazy and want answers spoon fed to me. This is my first bike build in about 13 years. Last bike was a r6 that I just rode until I wrecked it coming back from Chumash in 2007. Living in Tucson it is bike weather 90% of the time...

Hobbs switch could regulate a low psi pump, if you could determine a cutoff pressure when the floats close, I.e. When floats are open nominal pressure is 2psi when they close pressure is 3psi. Hobbs switch rated for 3psi cuts pump. But there would have to be a pressure differential. Blow into...

Thanks for the help and reminder that I am an actual mechanic even tho I forget and take the easy way out as in asking for help when I have almost everything I need to help myself...sigh I feel dumb

Sometimes I wonder why I invest in equipment that I forget about..

Negative..it's a 34mm.i guess I forgot I had bore gauges..smallest part of Venturi is 34 and I forgot to zero my mic..

And there's this, just about the same numbers as mine..34mm off a snowmobile? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Polaris-Indy-XLT-Snowmobile-MIKUNI-CARBURETOR-3-Cylinder-58L-01B-T2-86-34mm-/121732752865?hash=item1c57d665e1&vxp=mtr

I was "told" they came of a 900 Kawasaki or something. Just trying to get a definitive for a rebuild kit.

so I was re looking at the Mikuni vm pdf, I am not sure why I kept saying 29 as it wasn't even listed..I was looking at the 28 for the 33mm interior bore..But either way external outlet is 40mm, interior bore of 33mm. Inlet exterior of 50mm not matching anything on the chart(it was late last...

Everything I can find on vm28 has a horizontal choke not a vertical choke. I have found a few aftermarket vm29s that look identical? (Not saying your wrong but I can't find an exploded parts diagram for a 28 that looks similar) And I think the nipples I have on the bottom are the float...

The nipple is literally right under the main jet, I had to rig a hose in a180* fashion to keep fuel in the bowl. Not an overflow. I will try to find suitable metal plugs or just shove a cap on it..I think they are a vm29. Closest in the vm chart to the dimensions. They run fairly well on...

And another peculiar thing there is not a plug on the bottom of the bowl but rather a nipple..internal measurement is 33mm. External on big size is about 49mm

Anyone help with carb ID? Carb stamps 58L00, interwebs don't help much as I have searched for a few days already.

I always go advanced, use the attachment manager. Load 6 images, upload..but it only takes one pic at a time. Assuming it's because I am using an iPad. I'll try on the desktop next go around. I miss SLO, I was stationed at vandemberg a few years ago..
