Re: Mikuni VM32 Air Screw spring and fuel issues
Put new plugs in tonight and got it running! Feeling stupid at this point. Still running a little rough so I'm going to fine tune tomorrow in the daylight. I put a set of new BR8ES in as those were the only new plugs I had laying around. Had BR9ES in there before. Seemed real peppy when I ran it ton...

Re: Mikuni VM32 Air Screw spring and fuel issues
It's backfired through both the carb and the muffler separately. Haven't had the chance to change plugs yet....next on my short list. It feels like it has great compression but I still have to complete a proper compression test. As far as being sealed, there aren't any apparent leaks but I haven't t...

Re: Mikuni VM32 Air Screw spring and fuel issues
When I pull the plugs they are soaked. No fuel coming from vent lines. When I do get it started its usually with choke off and holding throttle about 1/4 open and feathering. When it dies it sometimes backfires. One thing I haven't done yet is try different plugs.

Re: Mikuni VM32 Air Screw spring and fuel issues
Nope still flooding. So far I've replaced the needle and seat, bowl gasket, air screw spring, and choke plunger. Took apart and cleaned again and everything is set in accordance with the service manual. I plan to take it apart again this weekend to check the floats and give it a pressure test. I may...

Re: Mikuni VM32 Air Screw spring and fuel issues
Another question....on the top of the mixing chamber body, just below the mixing chamber top, and on the air box side, there is a screw hole that has nothing in it. From what i can tell, this may be for a bracket if there are multiple carbs. Should this hole have a screw in it to keep extra air out?...

Re: Mikuni VM32 Air Screw spring and fuel issues
I took the carb completely apart yesterday, intalled new needle and seat, flushed all passages and blew out with compressed air, made all adjustments in accordance with the service manual and reinstalled. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to attempt starting because when I got home, there was a fres...

Re: Mikuni VM32 Air Screw spring and fuel issues
Isn't it a big jump going from the stock 165 jet to the 700? What is the benefit as i don't have any experience with jetting? Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm just trying to gain a good understanding of the tuning of a Mikuni. Thanks for your assistance.....Dennis

Re: Mikuni VM32 Air Screw spring and fuel issues
Although I only have very limited experience with the Mikuni carbs, does the needle really have much effect on idle? It was my understanding that pilot circuit ran everything at idle and that the needle (and jet) start working at about 1/4 throttle and up.

Re: Mikuni VM32 Air Screw spring and fuel issues
Rob, I just finished taking the carb apart to install all of the new parts I received today from Matt (Thanks Matt!) I've had the carb apart recently but never took the needle out of the slide to inspect. Lo' and behold the e-clip was in the second ring down from the top; not the middle as both you ...

Re: WTB Sprintfire Carb Bowl Gasket
New Breed has this part for $0.95. I just ordered one last night. Just make sure you take a good look at your bowl to ensure you get the correct gasket.
