mopar1rules Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) has anyone, or does anyone recommend switching out my stock shee carbs for some 28mm flatslides? if i should get the flatslides, should i get the tmx's or tm's? i like mikuni's personally, so i'd like to get that brand of carb. i thought since flatslides have better throttle response and that they say the power band gets a little broader, that i would install them. i plan on getting my cylinders ported, so i thought the 28's would be a good route. I see some guys run 28mm round slides, but why stick with the round slides? any thoughts and opinions? oh yeah, my mods are in my sig.

It should have pretty good throttle response and, maybe a little more power down low, and alot more power up top. Your gonna need carbs, filters, throttle cable, needles, mains and pilot jets.

Snopczynski Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Tmx has a powerjet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) ok. so, the power jet is not needed for me? when would a guy need that, just when additional fuel is needed? what throttle cable will i need? oh yeah, could i use my stock airbox w/uni-filter? probably better to use twin k&n pods for max airflow? just don't want to be cleaning the filters every hour.....you know.

Snopczynski Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Do you ride in sand? If you want to run the stock airbox then run it. I have no clue if those carbs will work with it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaxy Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I am not sure that Mikuni makes at 28mm fS Tmx. I have many years with these carbs and some things that I have learned. The 28 FS Mikuni have a smaller OD on the input flange than the stock 26's. As a result when you tighten up your intake manifold clamp you will need to tighten a tad more, This will put xtra strain on the boot so you need to watch for cracks. You can go to a machine shop to have a sleeve made to press on and it works great. The 28 FS will work with no problem with the airbox. A FS carb has a stronger signal than a normal round side. From my experience they run leaner on the pilot jet side but much richer on the main jet side. For pilot jets, I run a 17.5 and 20 and 300, 340 mains on my full mod shee and RZ shee. The 28's are also reasonably priced. You can get a new set for about $220.00, don't get screwed by paying alot more. You will also need to contact motion pro or a dealer for the right cable. Motion pro makes a specific cable for this set up. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 i don't ride in the dunes, just fields and some dusty/dirty areas. i work in a machine shop, so if i need to make a sleeve, i can. just need to know where the throttle cable that i need is...is that in parts unlimited?

mopar1rules Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 do these look like the ones that would work for me? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RTQ:MOTORS:1123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtcc Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Ha yeah I would say they would have worked, except the guy giving you the advice bought them instead of you! Not trying to start nothing just thought it was funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Im putting them on the 4mill. Here I will show you a brand new set for a little more money. They still have to be setup with all the right stuff though. they are a little more than half way down. Carb link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
