Hi Lancer. Are you still selling this carb kit? I’m thinking about buying a project Savage that already has a Mikuni VM36 installed (Murray’s Carbs). Curious what I might find inside for jets. Did I read correctly in this thread that a 200 Main with some kind of open exhaust is a good starting point? Without the UFO, what would be a starting point for the idle jet (sea level)? Thanks.

I typically use a #20 pilot and a #200 main jet as a starting point for a sea level location. If in a higher altitude go one size smaller for each 3000’. This assumes a good muffler like a Dyna that flows well but has decent baffling.

I just found your thorough discussion in the tech section. You detailed everything a carb tuning novice could wish for! I appreciate your taking the time to reply. Have a great evening!

Lancer, do you sell your VM36 with the UFO (Ultimate Flow Optimizer)? If so, is that why you start with such as small #20 idle jet?

The science behind the UFO seems logical, but I'm not buying the marketing hype of +1HP for every 100cc. That's like 6.5HP on our bikes - going from 31 stock HP to 37HP with just this gadget (+19% increase in HP). This "slide plug" can't do all that by itself especially if it’s mostly designed to improve low/midrange and not top end.

Call me Doubting Thomas. With all the brilliant engineers and designers at Mikuni, why didn't they think of this? It sounds too good to be true.
