33mm carbs

[hampshirehog]

Should have waited for these Adrian. You don't often see a stack of 4 Mk2s. Could be cheap as smoothies are now £187, not £150 that he's quoting so this is an £850 set of carbs new.

They're not just drag bike carbs either - they should run quite nicely on a street bike.

I might have a lowball punt at them.

its defo paint and has obviously been run at some point with petrol in it i presume as i only have to tickle it with my finger nail and it falls off. i will scrub them, get some paint stripper in there then ultrasonic clean them. they should be good as new afterwards

Just about to send Vm28mm off my Gs1085s to Allens to be over hauled ,had mine sonicly cleaned,they tell me never clean them that way............

with all the Bull i have been told over the last yr with these carbs and still they will not
run over 6000rpm ,wot ever size main jet we put in them, i do not know who or wot to think anymore, if they cant sort them will be buying a new set and start from scratch on a Dyno..........

well i have rebuilt at least six sets of VM's and 2 sets of bandit CV's all have worked out fine, ran no problem all through the rev range and all have said how much better the bike runs.
lots of people on here use U/S cleaners as well on their carbs and they dont get any problems

I had that symptom & chase it around the carbs... it was actually a problem with the ignitor. Just a thought....

That was on my 80 1000G

Be interesting to see what the 28's do for you.
