More carbs-not for the faint of heart

Hmmmph! Any photos possibly? :razz:

It seems we have been hacked by some scum bags - we're all trapped in a virtual world... aaaaaaaargh! :-D :???: :evil:

Did these parts come from the carb body or the sliders?
How long are the parts, do they have just the one hole in the end or more holes in different places. Yes pictures would be a big help.
My first guess however is the emulsion tubes, they may have been poorly seated during some previous work and fallen out the No2 carb probably has one but it's firmly pressed home and will not fall out. However this is a pure guess so lets have a few more clues and we'll see if we can't solve your mystery.
:yayyy:
:-D

Cheers

Ok, I can't seem to operate the digital camera that my neighbor gave me, so, pics may be a long time in comming.

The length of the brass is about 6mm. The hole goes all the way through lenthwise. They fell out of the carb bodies.

That's about it. I know that net diagnosis is difficult at best.

Otherwise-we got hacked? Is that why I don't have any personal messages stored?

We got hacked, yes! I managed to post only via 'history' and got to my last post, here, then, as it were - see hang out for details !
6mm sized jets, na! Possibly they're the mains - I'm sure you'd know them. This link has a bunch of photos, scrolling down there a close up of the float chamber & some guys fingers holding the emulsion tube http://www.dudeworld.com.au/ARTICVCARB.HTML where the tube screws in just past there's a little tube of brass, set in the casting - ? The carbs are CV's and similar but not the same - check it out though you might find some thing helpfull. :razz:

Heh,
I believe I've learned something. Between you all here and a mechanic friend of mine I believe I am referring to the needle jets. The two that I have fit tapered end into the bits that screw into the emulsion tubes. The other end perfectly receives the needle. See, all this time I thought the jets were just the threaded bits that screw into the emulsion tubes.

I think the case is solv-ed (per Clouseau). Now all I have to do is find the one that is missing.

One question: Are these interchangeable or specific to the threaded size (i.e. 125, 127.5 etc)?

It's a learning experience. Thanks for the advice all.

125,127.5 are these numbers on the parts!? Those are the main jets, which screw into the emulsion tubes and the needles are doing the old in/out, 'cos they are attached to the slide which move up and down as you vary the throttle. I would imagine you have 127.5,125,127.5 - the 125 is for the middle carb. If you look at that link I sent you - yes it is a Harley site - take a butchers at the exploded carb diagram. You will notice that
# 5 says needle jet, it is infact the top of the emulsion tube. The needle is that bit that you can see right in the middle between the slide and emulsion tube. Further on that site you'll see a Dynojet kit - the needle jet is that long bit! :-D

mmmm! With out photos it hard over the internet, do they have marking, #'s anything? :razz:

Try this site http://www.sudco.com/ they have images of every single jet type imaginable. Go to Products, then scroll down to Mikuni jets and see if you see anything familiar. :razz:

I have pictures in electronic format. How do I post them here?

Yikes! - the needle is obvious, so is the emulsion tube and that other jet on the right looks like a main fuel jet - the other 'bit' is a mystery. if you go back to this link
http://www.dudeworld.com.au/ARTICVCARB.HTML go all the way down to the bottom, third foto from last with the guy's hand holding the emulsion tube - there is a piece of brass with a hole in it stuck in the carb just above where the e/tube goes - do you see? Maybe that's what that mystery piece is - apart from that, well...... :???:

yeah, thanks for looking and your input. I have asked around and the local euro parts guy said that he thought it was logical to assume the outside carbs use this as a sort of accelerator pump.

What'dya' tink?

Zip

Na! there's no accelerator pump on these carbs !

I did not see the part in the microfish but check out this site maybe you'll see it

Clicky

If not have you talked to anyone at Hinds the owner use to race one and is a good friend of mine. one of the mechanics Dave G. also own a 96 like mine. so maybe between them they have seen this before. No promises on my part but maybe they can help.

Hi Terry,
Thanks for the advice. I know Jeff races in the Bonne series. I've had mixed experience with them and others I know have had quite bad experience. Not a bad idea to ask them though (especially with a specific person to ask for).

Zip

Yeah Jeff races in the thruxton cup and vintage superbikes now. but his first race bike was a 95 speed triple that I think he raced in BEARS I could be mistaken about the last part. one thing that I have found over the years in business is that no matter how good or bad you are that there will always be a time that someone will have a bad experience. So I can understand if you had a bad experience.
