People will be getting sick of me by now

Ok I have a rapido classic 225, nk rally and I was planning on using a 35mm mikuni tmx but I think its a 38mm mikuni... Which will be very impractical for my needs. I know we've gone through this before :S

So which carb would you go for? The tried and tested dellorto 30mm phbh? Or something a little different, I like the idea of a tmx carb as they offer good pannel clearance.

Cheers once again,

TMX30 worked well on a Muggy 225, with ramair and JL3. Jetting among fist few on carb setups.

Engine: Mugello 225.
Carb: TMX 30 mm Mikuni.
Set up: Needle 5EL68-3
Pilot 27.5
Main 240
Power 30
Exhaust: JL3 exhaust.
Ram air filter.

Cheers for that. I'll look into prices for the carb. Do you know if the needles and jets are the same as the 35mm?

Also, I am quite liking the look of the bgm pwk carbs any one run one on a simlar set up?

Any more suggestions? Cheers,

Answer A:
For ease and price, a 28 or 30 mil PHBH. They're not the most modern or amazing, but they are well priced. They're a piece of pi ss to set up. The bits are plentiful and cheap.

Answer B:
Don't be a puff. Use the 38.

havn`t got a rapido but have got a ts1 that used to run 35mm mikuni ,and although set up on a dyno always suffered an amount of four stroking , changrd to a 30mm dellorto with camlam power jet ,again set up on a dyno and to be honest the graphs ,show very little difference between them ,in fact ,if i remember correctly ,the dellorto was slightly better,and it improved fuel consumtion .......so biggest is not always better ......just something else to consider !!

That air striker does look like an impressive carb, but its out of my budget.

I have been looking at this carb, http://www.scooter-center.com/scoweb/pa ... egory2=CAT

Hmm, I wouldn't of thought bmg would make something that was naff :S

Woops, a bit of duplicate posting...

A friend of mine highly rates this carb, is it worth the extra cash over a phbh? And does it use the same jets as a phbh?

Cheers,
