Mikes does "include" one size bigger and one size smaller jets when you purchase the kits.

Hello there, Please do not give up so easily - I would like to say again. If you ever experience any issues or need technical advise, regardless where you purchased your items, please contact customerservice@mikesxs.net. The PWK carbs in question are a division of Keihin. These are flat slide carbs that will perform without concern. Aftermarket carburetor swaps will take some experience, you have changed the design of the original aspects of the motorcycle. In some cases professional assistance is required. MikesXS is available to assist with the novice that wants to be able to install these major attributes to his motorcycle successfully. There are only one inlet to each carb for fuel. That is the largest inlet on the carburetor itself. The smaller diameter with the colored hoses are vents only and are directed to the ground. These carbs will work with either diaphragm or typical gravity feed fuel petcocks. If you decide to keep the diaphragm petcock on your bike just use the "prime" position. This will gravity feed your bike. If the diaphragm petcock is operating correctly, the on position is actually off when the bike is not running on the original Yamaha factory set up. It will serve the same purpose in this case. If you choose to eliminate the vacuum petcock MikesXS offers p/n 20-0019 for a non-vacuum petcock.Ok. All I am dying to know. Is where does the vacuum line f on the petcock hook up. Please god. Someone tell me.
The choke thing is individual. You really do not have to do both chokes to start. Here are a couple photos to assistHeyyyyyy So I just got these and i am seriously stuck on what goes where. I think I've figured it out only by just guessing. I literally have almost no idea whatsoever how to install these. but i'm totally winging it and jumping in. If someone could post some sort of pics somewhere of what hoses go to which valve. and the fuel line and the petcock vacuum hoses go where? did i read that i need new boots? how do these connect? what about the choke thing, do I need to magyver those together? help is needed... just some direction.....
Hi mrriggs, I want to connect a mercury manometer to my carbs as you suggest but there are no fitting barbs on the provided manifolds to attach the manometer hoses. Where do you attach yours?These things are real particular about the sync. I use a mercury manometer to sync at idle, then hold the slides slightly open and do an inital sync of the cables. To fine tune the cables, I zip tie a couple of vacuum gauges to the handle bars so I can watch the vacuum at a steady cruise speed.
Get the mounts with the barbs or some people drill and glue in barbs. I know where I can get you a new set with barbs. Pm me if interested. Need to pay shipping from Canada though.Hi mrriggs, I want to connect a mercury manometer to my carbs as you suggest but there are no fitting barbs on the provided manifolds to attach the manometer hoses.
