Hello all, new to the forum and the Rhino 250. Just had the damn carb clog up and had to remove and clean. Ready to junk it!! Does the Mikuni VM26 replace the PF PZ27 that is on my Rhino?

That is the consensus. If you do a Search on the ATV forum for Mikuni there are dozens of posts on replacing the stock Rhino Carb with the Mikuni. You will need to buy some jets for that new Mikuni as well. Hopefully someone more knowledgable then me can give you hints on basic jetting.

Thanks. I can find in the forum that the VM26 was used, but could not find anywhere what it was replacing.

Also there seem to be different VM26's on ebay (VM26-606, VM26-8074). Any idea which I should order? Thanks and sorry, I am new to modding.

This is the setup I used on my Rhino...

30 pilot
115 main
4th notch down on needle, 2 notches up from bottom. 1 3/4 turns out on the mixture screw.


Mikuni Clone

Pilot Jet

Main Jet

Don't mix and match OEM and Equivalent jets if you get a size up and down from those numbers for tweaking. There is a variance some times and it will be a little off. Stick with the Mikuni OEM ones is my advice.

Would any mikuni VM26 with 30mm work? What about this one?

I read on another forum about that issue with the 150cc and going with a longer snorkel. From what I read for that style engine you can just go straight up as long as its not too long. It's a known issue and not something random.

If it was me I would put a air filter stem inside a 4inch pvc tube through an end cap (unglued) so the distance is short and place the air filter at the bottom of the tube ... you can put a U bend on the end to keep the rain out or just route it somewhere it will stay dry.

Not sure what it is exactly but to me seems the vacuum point between the air filter and the carb suffers when it is longer. Doesn't get enough air to run right. Engine doesn't create enough vacuum for the longer tube. Just a guess but think I got it right.

HMMM, and thanks for the reply.
So I may just put the stock one back on at this point as its higher than just a cone filter to the carb, I've discovered that anything more than 4" from the carb and it starts to choke out at full throttle, hence effecting the vacuum to the carb. I'm lost as to why the stock unit travels more than a foot but doesn't have the same issue.
I'll keep playing, but in the interim will go back to the stock unit until I've come up with a new scenario!!

Could be the filter breathes a little more freely then the cone type you are using. I know my Rhino's stock filter was nothing more then a black open plastic sponge.


Kinda surprised no one else replied. Some great knowledge in the ranks here.

Agreed, It just stumps me as to how the H20 actually gets way up there in the first place as its quite high under the seat and the intake to the black airbox faces downstream so it would take a bit for the unit to get water inside whatsoever.
I may just go one step further on the Bull unit, oh god here we go, now its under my skin,,,.
I may replace the stock air box to original but cut open, the same size as original opening, a hole on top of the cover instead of the back.
stay tuned....

On mine I switched the choke cable lever over with the TaoTao carb. No pics or video.

Watch you don't twist the throttle cable when screwing the slide together.

I just brought my stock plug in to the auto parts store and the cross referenced it to a NGK
