00tbanshee Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 i am running a set of 41 mikuni carbs from K&T.i found that i can't get the slides to go up the whole way.if i adjust the tops of the carbs i can make them come open but then they won't go shout the whole way.the cable i am using is for these carbs.its a mp 07-0868 by motion pro.i am also running a stock thumb throttle.anybody know what i need to do?

dajogejr Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Yep. One of two things. Get an aftermarket thumb throttle that has more throw (Chariot makes a nice one, click on my sig) or take the top off yours, where the back of the arm hits, grind that off so it clears. A lot of guys with stock thumb throttles have to grind the back of the throttle out for 39PWKs, I can't imagine the 41Mikunis being any different. Quote
wesw Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 get an adjustable terry cable and like dave said grind on teh back side of the thumb housing so it opens more. Quote
00tbanshee Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Posted June 11, 2008 get an adjustable terry cable and like dave said grind on teh back side of the thumb housing so it opens more. i think if i grind off enough to get the throttle to open the whole way i think the arm where the cable hooks to will be sticking out the housing.the slides are hanging down 3/8 of a inch.so might just invest in a aftermarket thumb throttle.thanx Quote
00tbanshee Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Posted June 12, 2008 after gringing 4 different thing on the thumb throttle it nows opens the whole way.thanx guys Quote
dajogejr Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Awesome. Let's figure out how to ship the Pick tires to you as well. I'd like to see you run them on a track there. 1 pick pulled through, what guys normally do is dismount the tire, patch the inside with a piece of roofing shingle...then put it back together. Obviously, they are tubed tires. Let me know what you want to do.... Quote
00tbanshee Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Posted June 12, 2008 post me a pic up so i can see them first Quote
