Hi all, any one changed a mikuni 35mm tmx on a ts1 to another carb and was it any better?
Engine Spec
TS1 230
35 tmx 20 pilot 57 needle 2nd clip from top 320 main no 6 slide mixture 1.5 turns out
nk road pipe
set up on dyno
recently fitted a kytronic smart booste( 26 static) no7 position thought this may help at low revs
Always spluttered around quarter throttle (still did after dyno session)
think the only solution now is to change carb tried everything else
Cheers in advance
ts1 and Mikuni 35 tmx

Try going up 1 size same clip position on the needle, then if it improves try next size up on the pilot jet, it might clean it up

jonashford do you mean going up one clip position on same needle to the top position?

Update
Replaced 57 needle with 58 same clip position (2nd from top) cleaned up loads a lot better to ride now.
