VM34SC Mikuni

Yamaha’s Racing Tips Manual, 1974, suggested using VM34SC Mikunis. Round slide. Magnesium bodied. No Power Jet/Accelerator Pump/Beschleunigungspumpe.

Today, TM’s are supposed to provide significant performance improvements. Flat slides and the jet blocks help create a smooth bore effect. Air flows faster and smoother through the TM Series venturi. Higher air flow velocity gives a stronger vacuum at the needle jet needle. Provides more precise metering and better throttle response.

For known geographic and climatic conditions.

However, I do a fair bit of touring. Low to High altitude. For this I actually prefer the original BS series carbs. They automatically adjust themselves for air pressure. Easier to keep tuned.
