does anyone use it? is it worth the money? i just drilled mine works ok. if i get the kit ya think it will be worth it?

 

you can drill any jet, regardless of fuel choice, but do we? you drill it too big and then what do you do, there's no going back.

For the TM45 carb the alky kit is no big deal, its simply a collection of mains, pilots, a #95 needle (richest made for the TM45 carb) the needle jet tube, and a larger float valve to allow faster bowl recovery on long hillshoots. its $70 because if you add up all the stuff seperately, that's what it'd cost. and then you have tuning options, know where you've been and where you're going, etc.

 

someone told me its a waste of money. elliot said there was a diff mains they are not the same makuni jets. so wouldnt that make a big diff. even though alky is forgiving?

 

yes the jets are different brand, mikuni doesn't make this type of jet big enough, so there is also an adapter to fit the different jets to the new needle jet tube.

you can talk to some really experienced alky people, like THEBOM, find out all the right sizes, drill your tube as needed and drill jets as needed, get the bigger foat valve and be several bucks ahead. the kit is convenience, offering you the ability to go back to gas whever you want cause you still got your stock needle jet tube undrilled. you don't have to swap the float valve back though, you can run on gas with the larger float valve no poblem, I do.
