Description
The Mikuni TM38 Non Pump type TM Flatslide single carburetor conversion kit is for fitment to early kick-start Yamaha TT and XT600 models.
Please confirm you have one of the three same suitable frames and air-box as pictured. The pictured blue frame and some others will have a larger diameter air box rubber connection pipe on the RH side, where select the appropriate forked adapter option.
Mod’s required on TT600 36A, 59X and 3SW models are as follows and shown in the picture with the white frame: The top barrel fin needs grinding back for manifold clearance. The cable needs to be set as low as possible into the carb and aimed off to the side for frame clearance where a a little material on the frame may need to be removed. Otherwise all good and the choke knob can be accessed on these models if ever needed.
These kits are available in both this the budget priced TM38 and high performance TM42 pumper version. The TM40 pumper will not fit with this frame due to a lack of available space. The Belgarda 600 has a different frame and kit (we also build) which is available in TM38, TM40 pumper and with that bike, the TM42 with a small frame modification required.
The TM38 though our budget option for these motorcycles is still a step up in performance over most OEM carbs and an easy resolution to non repairable, worn out stock units. These have for decades been the economical replacement carb of choice for Honda XR600 and XR650 riders who have worn out their OEM carbs or are just over some of their inherent problems. All this means getting the full enjoyment out of your motorcycle has never been so easy, say goodbye to hard starting, hesitations and flatspots. These Mikuni carburetors like the TM42 will adapt to your stock air-box when using our supplied, forked air-box adapter.
The kit comes with a Mikuni TM38-86 carb, cast two into one manifold with mounting hardware, heavy duty rubber engine mounting flange to isolate the heat, a forked air-box adapter with a carb end hose clamp (requiring the shortening of your OEM rubbers for connection), a 1/4 turn quick action throttle and a nylon lined cable with a 90 degree lower fitting which screws directly into the carburetor top for clearance . There are jets provided that must be changed as well as spares for fine tuning.
The carb comes with a rarely ever required knob choke where if in colder climates you find you do need to use the choke and access to the knob is an issue, we sell separately either a cable choke adapter kit ( MK-412 ) or a complete kit with universal bracket and 310mm long cable ( MK-412-310C ).
Climate, altitude and fuel density from different octane fuels all have varying effects on final fine tuning as does cam, exhaust and cylinder head porting etc. For this reason, we have included what we have found to be a range of jets to allow you to tune to most variables worldwide.
You will instantly experience better throttle response, improved acceleration and performance. If chasing optimum performance check out our TM42 Pumper Carb options.
Please Note: Other than exact replacement OEM carburetors, all Mikuni Aftermarket Carburetors and Tuning Components are sold “As Is” for Off Road / Racing Use Only and are not intended or approved for use on vehicles operated on Public Roads or in locations where applicable engine tampering and anti-pollution laws apply.
