mikuni 35mm tmx- pilot jet query

[db67]

hi, i recently bought a 35mm tmx mikuni carb off ebay & the pilot jet seems a lot longer compared to the ones in my mates tmx carbs , i've (hopefully !) attached a couple of pics to show the difference, i just want know if it is ok to use this type of jet if i get the right size (currently has a 15 in it ) but i think i need around a 22 for my jetting, or have i made a mistake & bought a duffer !!! carb seems exactly the same as my mates apart from this jet ! thanks for any info. db

a carb i bought had the longer jet,, i drilled and tapped it to accept the shorter type and it has been perfectly ok and worked a treat,,,

Ive got one on my rb20 its off a rm125. You can get pilot jets for them from allens, only a few quid each.

I too bought recently a TMX with the longer pilot jet (vm28 type). It has a 45 in it. Are the measures of the vm28 pilots like the vm22?
Can i run it on a ts1 or should i buy a 20/22,5 vm28 pilot?

hi, i'm not 100% sure to be honest ! i would give allens performance a ring, they will sort you out what you need. db

Yes the jets numbers are the same. the numbers refer to the hole size or the amount of fuel they flow, in a measured amount of time (can`t remember which one). Mine had a 45 in as well.

So a 45 will be too rich for a ts1?
Should i buy a 20/22,5?

Yes, ive a 22.5 in my rb20 and thats slightly to rich.
