Topic: Mikuni vm33 Smoothbores

How big of a SOHC motor would you need to build to use this carb? Just wondering if I can use them, or I should just sell them?

I guess no one has try 33 Smoothbores.

I am running 34mm flat slides on my 840 GS with an GS850 head (34mm intakes at the opening nearest to the carb intake)
Some people think that the 34s might be to big but its up on the dyno as we speak
I would think that if your going to run a 910 motor or larger, you could run the 33s

The flat slides seem to run better than the old round slides but if that's all you have then that's all you have

good luck

Jim

Thanks! I've only ran them on a 1100F about 20 years ago. I would like to build something around 1000cc. So i think I will hold on to them.
