broncbob Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 To start off with, what is the difference between the TM and the TMX carbs? Should I stay away from one or the other due to poor design or tuning problems? What slide cut away should I be looking for with both carbs? I know there are intakes for the TM carbs, but what about TMX carbs? The carbs would be for a stock bore 4mill with a dune port running at about 5000' Thanks for the help, and sorry about the kinda long list of questions.

J-Madd Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 There's not a ton of Mikuni advice out there. I have a set and still couldn't tell you crap about them. If you want to run some Keihn PWK 35 mm or some PJ 34 mm I'm sure you could get lots of help on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 The application and design differences are listed on this page. TM and TMX Any carb is easy to tune if you understand how it works. I personally run the TM 28mm's on my bike. There is full jet and setup info on the forum for the TM 28mm's that I posted on here several times if you need to know things like the slide cutouts etc.... Just search for it.

broncbob Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I see you recommend 28's, but looking at your jetting, it looks that your on the upper end of what the 28's can handle. Am I reading that wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 umm......huh? they can go alot higher in jetting if you need it. think it's like 490 or 500, and any bigger carbs would call for increase in size as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncbob Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) My bad, I was thinking 390 was about as high as it goes for some reason. Maybe because I have never seen jetting specs past that. Edited January 18, 2010 by broncbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I have ran stock carbs bored to 28mm with 420's in them before on other bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
