VM26 (clone) vs PZ30 help
Has anyone that has done the swap actually measured the inner bore diameter on both carbs? Both are supposed to be 30mm. I'm just wondering if there's even a minute performance gain to be had by removing a perfectly good running PZ30. Tuning and butterfly chokes being the same the only difference could be inner bore diameter. So if anyone is in the middle of doing a swap or has both on hand could you please take a quick measurement?

I had tried searching and with all these swaps I was surprised to see no one ever did a side by side shot or at least a quick measurement.

Heres my finds my vm26 and jets I ordered came fast the jets I ordered off amazon fit both my stock carb off hawk and the vm26 . I put a 115 main jet in both and swapped back and forth the only gain I had was the vm26 idled a bit better off a cold start than stock carb .

Just to sate your curiosity, I measured both carbs with my calipers. Stock PZ30 at manifold - 29.92mm. Mikuni VM26 "30mm" 29.87, with a small margin of error granted because there is no clean edge for my calipers to grasp. So, in short, they are both 30mm. I will note that the stock carb throat is actually not centered in the body on mine, and it sits lower than the inlet manifold port a little, the VM26 I ordered centers up perfectly.

I did notice in the tech info thread about the carb throat and wasn't sure if maybe that was specifically matched to our manifolds? Or is it just the design? If that were the case I would suspect the mikuni would actually be a slight downgrade (performance wise) if it was not smoothed out in that area. |

Nice! Was there enough material there to hog it out a little?

Maybe a tiny bit, but there is no way to know how thick the inner metal sleeve is on that intake manifold.

Did anyone have this problem or did I receive a wrong product? Edit: By "not fit" I mean, it would get tight after a few turns and not fully seat. |

I bought the same set of jets and had the same problem. I wrote something about not buying the buying the Wings jets if you will be using the Mikuni clone.
