mikuni rs36

[jovin04]

Hi I have a set of Mikuni RS36 Flatslide carbs on my gpz1100 motor. It has been striped down after 300 miles with new Wiseco pistons etc it appears the bores have been washed out with fuel. Can anyone give any recommendation's for the carb settings.
I am currently using a 130 main jet in may be washing out on the pilot??

Many Thanks

I run 130 mains with 17.5 pilots on me Z1000A2 - 1075 Wiseco, flowed head, std cams - RS36's

Hi there thanks for your help, that's the same set up I'm using so it shouldn't wash the bore??

Forgive me is im wrong but could it be float heights god knows what they are suppous to be on these 36mm mikuni's

im running same set up also so will be interested to see your findings

The floats should be around 17 mm. I had loads of probs with flooding and have been told the valve and seats could have been mismatched as there are two sizes. 130s are about right I had mine dyno'd so will check the needles etc for you.

Checked mine has got 134's
17.5 pilot
Mixture 1 1/2 turns out
Needle clip 2nd from the top

But I've not run this properly yet
But will check the float heights
