I had some float needle problems with the original Hawk carburetor after years of trouble free use (air box mod, original exhaust). I decided to get the Mikuni China knock-off MYK VM26 (amazon ). It came with 103 main and 33 pilot jets. I changed the main to 110, and moved the throttle needle clip from 3 to 4 down from top (Mikuni jets worked) but I've had no luck finding the long pilot jet (32mm long, emailed pic to jetsRus - can't help you). The bike seems to run fine now (it's winter here in Oregon/ at sea level). I have the air/fuel mix needle set at 1-1/4 out (needle is in front of bowl away from air box). I may need a 25 or 27.5 come summer or for a trip to elevation. Anyone else have experience either tuning these or finding pilot jets?
