monaghan · 10-29-2009, 04:12 PM

depends what motor and carb you have now...

nelson28 · 10-29-2009, 04:24 PM

if its the 160 id for sure run the pwk28mm carb. and if its the 140 id run a vm26mm carb. just make sure its a REAl mikuni

tater8771 · 10-29-2009, 06:10 PM

The motor is a 140 and its stock exept for the cam.Where do i find a resonable price on a vm26mm and are there any differences that u can tell its not a nock off.

racerx711 · 10-29-2009, 07:33 PM

lol PISTER....

its no longer the pitster mafia... i'm calling them the pister mafia from now one...

tater8771 · 10-30-2009, 10:46 AM

U like that this thing is a pister

racerx711 · 10-30-2009, 04:06 PM

its pitster pro not pister, but the pitster guys get all pissy when you say something bad about the bike so i think pister better suites them..

tater8771 · 10-30-2009, 04:20 PM

Thats fine i own one i like it but the carb is a pisser.

lol, i'm not saying the bikes are all bad.. they are fairly good for china product.

carbs are all crappy from china though..

you could check your float height and close it a tad, it may be staying open to long and causing it to overflow from vent tubes..

i had a cheap carb on mine and it ran amazing! whats the problem with it first...

tater8771 · 10-30-2009, 05:22 PM

It bogs on low end i know i know it probly the pilot jet but where do u get jets for a stock pitster carb and anyway i like mikuni because its easier to get jets.

monaghan · 10-31-2009, 09:20 AM

im pretty sure they take the same as the mikuni. and they are similar, not 100% sure though
but if your going to upgrade the mikuni 26 is the one

tater8771 · 10-31-2009, 05:58 PM

Ya im looking for one there is a couple guys on here that have the jap ones but im kind of lerry about it.

TBolt USA - Pit Bikes, Pitster Pro, SSR, G2 Moto, Honda 50 Engines has about every carb available on his website. I just ordered the pwk 28mm for my pitster. Had the Trailbikes tb28carb and it ran good but the internals just seemed to wear out too fast.

Paxracing · 10-31-2009, 06:53 PM

We use the pwk 28 with the TB front faceing manifold and a k&n air filter.

tater8771 · 11-01-2009, 07:16 AM

I dont know a cheaper one may work just fine im not going to motocross it just play around w/it but i dont want to be messing with it all the time.

tater8771 · 11-01-2009, 07:33 AM

Thanks for the info on the website.

randun41 · 11-01-2009, 08:24 AM

When I purchased my new "pister",TBoltUsa included a new mikuni vm26mm with the purchase. If it has lettering starting with the "broken look" /// for "M",I consider that the chinese knock off,although some state they are not knock off,just carbs built for use in the "China" market making then "unavailable" to normal U.S. consumers. TBOLTUSA also has a jet kit available for these carbs (knock offs),but he removed the "knock off" label and states "oem" carb jet kits.

I ended up puttin the "real" Mikuni carb on mine along with a 25 pilot jet,and it scream now.
