I was just about to splurge on a VM26-606 carb for my XR 120. Current set up is, Stock stroke 45mm, 58mm Powroll 12:1 piston, Megacycle X6 cam, KBW springs, Stock head deck'd .025" mild bowl blend, and intake matched. To light the fire I'm running a Lifan outer rotor kit with a KTM 520SX coil. Drinking VP C12 through a 24mm ATC 200x carb.

I happen to have a 26mm Mikuni flat slide carb that originally was on a 1985 Suzuki RM80 2 stroke. For some reason Mikuni badged this carb as a VM and not a TM? After some research this carb seems pretty rare.. I was unable to track down parts besides what Suzuki has to offer.

I'v done some searches here, and have come up empty. Except for the Yosh TM MJN 26mm, which is exempt for a comparison.

I see alot of you engine gurus converting 2 smoker carb over to mini thumpers. Any advice on needles selection or elumination tubes for a starting point, were to source parts, or part compatability with other Mikuni flat slides (24/28's) for my application?

Any help much appreciated!
