Stripped the vmax Mikunis over a week ago - it had developed a nuisance weak mix misfire on one cylinder, and I haven't used it for a while due to not getting a round tuit.
So stripped down, the old petrol smell told me it was needed. The downdraght Mikunis have a jet block that screws to the carb body, paper gasket needed. Also, the main jet emulsion tube and idle jet have a bung each that needs replacing. A bit of internet searching, and failing found a German supplier, and one other in the UK, who sold them as part of a "kit". Anyway, they turned up last week, looked fine. Went to fit them today and the bungs are useless, one is too squidgy, the larger one is just plain too big.
So you could day I'm a bit peed off - why do people buy rubbish and resell it as something it plainly isnt?
