    @darty Yeah I was going to put this, but didn't they run the VM26 up until like 96 or something.

    @calum Nope, pretty much one year in Europe from 1988'.

    But JDM 125R's or (3FW's) came with the VM26 up to what looks to be the mid 1990s.

    Maybe for emissions or something.

    Keep it real

      All fitted,just as well, UPS never turned up with the new one from csm l, then sent email saying I was not in when delivery attempted at 4.59. Bulls##t! I was working on bike right by front door! Long story short coming Saturday after phone argument, driver tried to deliver to no 5, I live at no 9. Every fk'd up delivery I get is UPS, even their app is garbage. Bike starts and runs fine, a lot easier to fit carb as well with the correct inlet.

          @jgr72 I’ve just discovered I have the 3et inlet with the vm28 carb I believe is this not the correct set up?

            That is the correct set, I had the flatside carb with the 3bn inlet meant for the first edition carb, hard to fit carb

                    The link pipe on the carb is to do with the power jet, just don't ask me what it does!

                        @oldman Power Jets are awesome.

                        Basically when the bike is at a decent load but not accelerating, it soesn't need to use all of the main jet as that is too much fuel, the power jet instead takes over which uses slightly less fuel and has a leaner mixture.

                        They are not there on all carbs.

                          Slightly of topic but the same part of the engine, is the gasket on the inlet a rubber one? There’s a rubber one on mine and it has an air leak, I remember on my other engine it was the cereal box type

                            @ricky0115 It should be a paper type, quite common for these to let air in here when botched.

                              @calum god damn, the bike should run without the choke when I get that replaced then. Fingers crossed! Cheers

                                @ricky0115 Use Athena, or OEM gaskets only.

                                You can get some paper gasket adhesive to just ensure it's properly sealed. It's what I've used on my engines.

                                  @calum where’s the best place to get Athena gaskets? I remember pricing up OEM on Fowler’s for the top end was like £40 for 2 gaskets

                                        @ricky0115 For gaskets and obtaining authentic genuine athena gaskets. Choose none other than PJME.

                                        But personal preference. I use eBay for almost everything else.
