locogato11283 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 whats up man? welcome to HQ are these mikunis or keihins? measure the inside of the cylinder side of the carb. you can measure it in inches.. here are some common carb sizes and their inch conversion.. 26mm - 1.02 inches 28mm - 1.1 inches 30mm - 1.18 inches 33mm - 1.29 inches 35mm - 1.37 Quote

GrMeyer Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 To find out how big the carbs are you have to measure the ID (inside diameter) of the carbs. The part that goes to the intake boot. And if you need to find filters. You just measure the OD (outside diameter) of the mouth of the carbs. You might as well just go and buy a micrometer. They are only about $10 for a cheap on with digital read out. I got mine from Checker when I use to work there. It will measure shit in MM and Inches. It is a good investment because you will all ways be using that tool for other things as well. Also comes in handy for shims in shocks and other engine parts. Quote
AKheathen Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 you have to measure the bore next to the slide, at its' smallest point. you can use a toothpick and trim it untill it just barely fits, then measure the toothpick. the stock carbs will come to be almost 28mm if you just measure the bore where it clamps into the intake boots.

Banshee5150 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Posted February 18, 2010 ok i measured them and it is about 1 3/8 is that the 30mm? 26mm - 1.02 inches 28mm - 1.1 inches 30mm - 1.18 inches 33mm - 1.29 inches 35mm - 1.37 Quote
pondtunes Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 ok i measured them and it is about 1 3/8 is that the 30mm? 26mm - 1.02 inches 28mm - 1.1 inches 30mm - 1.18 inches 33mm - 1.29 inches 35mm - 1.37 to convert decimal to fraction simply take the first number divided by the second.. so 3/8 is 3 divided by 8 which equals .375 your 1.375 decimal measurement would lead me to believe you have 35mm carbs (: Quote
sheefreak Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 Most Alky carbs are going to be 35MM and bigger:) Sounds like a 35 to me. Quote
