mikuni carb...

[JudyNails]

since ive been reading up on the carbs and performing leakdown tests and wut not i decided to pull the carb and clean it again...i'm not the one that cleaned it before so i wanted to do it myself..i thought it was stock carb that was on it but from my understanding mikuni carbs are aftermarket...how do i know what size it is so i can make the leakdown tester? plus when i pulled the carb i noticed there was no clamp put on the one side of it..(its the bigger hole that connects in toward the back of the bike)..i'm assuming that is where air was leaking..

This is a stock Blaster carb. It is a 26mm Mikuni carb....in stock form it has the TORS device....large thing on top of the carb, attached.

You need a clamp on the air intake boot side or it will most likely leak. Just pick up a clamp at your local hardware store and use that.

Dont Over tighten the clamp, this will also cause leaks. Just snug it up
