Hey guys I did a search on this carb with the blaster forum and came up with nothing. I was wondering if anyone has used the TM33 carb and where to start as far as jetting it properly. I have not measured the ID of the carb on the engine side but the OD is 40mm. I got the carb for free so Im really hoping it will be useful and give me some gains in performance. Thanks for all the input in advance!

Don't waste your time with a tm or tmx, the pj and pwk kehin's are ages ahead and much easier to work with.
What mods do you have done already? If its just some bolt ons a bigger carb isn't necessary.

i have a mikuni tm 34 carb off a lt250r on my blaster and it was a lot easier to tune then the pj i had.......
Yeah The carb is free so thats a step in the right direction.. I have a fmf pipe filter with open box vf3 reeds, oil block off, timing mod. I will be getting a trail port and head redesign from ken. I was thinking I would only have to buy the carb manifold boot and some type of bolt on filter or box setup. would it benefit me more to buy a oko carb?
As for jetting, open it up and clean it first. While you are in there take note of what size the jets are, pilot and main at least. Then slap it on and go from there. It will likely be close enough that you can base tuning on what you find.
Thanks for all the info guys. I am sure I can figure out the tuning aspect. I was just wondering abut a good starting point. WHat are you guys running for an air box or just a clamp on filter ?
im running an aluminum airbox with a uni filter..... u can run a pod or ur stock airbox modded and with no lid too
HEy guys I just pulled the carb out to run some measurements on it. It seems that it is a 36MM carb. The model does say T34 but it definately measures 36MM. If it is this size should i just sell it or maybe trade it since I am only going to have a port/polish and head redesign?
Truly it is the size of the bore, not the intake manifold side opening that determines carb size.
BTW, would you be interested in a Mikuni VM Tuning manual? PM me your email and I will send it to you.
