Alternative Carburetor

Post by RafaMedina »

I happen to have a slightly used mikuni vm32 and wondering if I can adapt it to my G80S with the appropriate jets or is it too large.

Take a read of this thread : viewtopic.php?f=159&t=24365&p=205553

Parts of the thread discuss the use of a Mikuni carb on a G80

Sadly he doesn't seem to discuss the type and jetting. I used a Mikuni for a while on my Cub but I couldn't quite get it to behave.
