evening...

been offered a mikuni carb off a dt125r

was wondering some bright spark could tell me if its suitable for my gp..

all i know its a mikuni.. from a 2002 model.. the carb looks slightly different to the ones on sudco and allens..

basically will it work

knowing my luck its for a 4 stroke or has something different which why it can't be used

sorry for being vague

any help would be great..

I think they run a 28mm Tm, but i may be wrong. They are not a four stroke, i know for sure.

so these older looking tm's compared to the latest ones are basically the same carb.. and can be used

Personally I'd steer clear, most Mikunis are oem for particular bikes and only the TMX24, 30 or 35 are really suited to Lambretta otherwise your letting yourself in for a lot of headaches. Personally I'm not a fan of Mikuni on a Lambretta as you can't dial them in fully.

Yes,If this is the same one as the RM125, the jets are different and very hard to get hold of.

Im using one of these (tmx35) on my rb.
Only the pilot jet is different, and they are readily available from Allens.

I've got a keihin oko 28mm which is doing my head in as i can't seem to do anything with it..

my mate gave me the mikuni for a tenner so its no great shakes if it doesn't work..
