#1 29mm mikuni07-09-2009, 11:46 AM
originally i had a 26mm mikuni copy i have now put on a 29mm mikuni and when i put the choke into the fully closed position the bike idles ok then decreases and dies
when i open it it starts to rev to death does anyone have any idea why because automatically i assumed too big a main jet but put in a smaller and all stayed the same and when i try to get the bike to idle normally it revs very little and dies any ideas or is the carb just too big for the bike ?

With the slide resting on the bottom you should still have 2-4 mm of free play measured at the twistgrip. Adjust this using the carb top and twistgrip adjusters.
This is assuming that your throttle stop screw is fully backed out. There should be no tickover at all with it fully unscrewed, then screw it in slowly until you obtain 1100-1300 rpm idle speed.
A 29 mm carb with a 125cc mildly tuned engine is a little too big. You might get a small power gain at wide open throttle but low down torque will be reduced due to a low gas speed through the relatively large choke/venturi size.Jincheng Monkey JC50Q-7
