Years ago I installed a pair of Mikuni flat slide carbs on my '72 R75/5. Once I got them dialed in, they worked well for me. Sorry to hear that Rocky Point is out of business.
I mounted the O2 bung before the exhaust cross-over
Was thinking the same thing, this appears to be after unless he deleted the crossover
I thought about that. The place I picked was a bit more inconspicuous.
@@HeikosGarageI think the idea is that you’ll have blending of the two cyls exhaust if you pick after the crossover
@@zm6658 that could be case . I am not worried about it.
Have no experience with this but have heard second hand from airheads that radiator hose will not hold up well if used for carburetor exit tube, as you suggest. I assume gas vapors will deteriorate the coolant hose material. Tschuss!
That is possible but the hose pieces that you get from some suppliers are radiator hose, nothing more. But you are right, it is probably something worth paying attention to.
Really enjoyed the work you did on the BMW improvement. Could you tell me the Mikuni jet sizes you used. The pilot, main, needle jet, slide and needle. That would be helpful in dialing in carbs. Also, what elevation are you at?
Thanks again for sharing.
I will get you that when I get home. Don't remember the numbers right now.
Thank you for your content. Why not delete the stock choke and clean things up a bit?
I have considered it. I might still do that.
