[dear140]

hey guys, i just got a mikuni carburetor for my 84' ytm 200e shaft drive and it ended up 42.50 on ebay. i got it but cant figure out how the valve goes in. when i screw in the carb cap the valve wont go all the way down where it should be.

Turn the slide 180

The slot in the slide must be on the same side as the pin in the bore.

When it stops. Im assuming its within a couple of mm of the top. Just pull it up out and spin it 180 and spin it back and fourth while your putting it in and it will find the right slots on the slide and it will go down. just takes maybe a minute.
