Mikuni VM34.

Hmmm...and does this carb bolt STRAIT onto the 440, or does it have a rubber spiget mount between? Im trying to locate a carb big enough for my Kawi TIA440. Its got the stupid Tillotson on it and im fighting with it now. lol


SORRY FOR HI-JACKING!! just got my attention! haha.

Did you clean the tillotson carb and check if the diaphragm is dried out and cracked?
Not much goes wrong with them and a rebuild kit is cheap and easy to install.

It's a rubber spigot/flange type.

Yes sir, cleaned it 6 ways to sunday. ANd put in a rebuild kit. Imma monkey with it today, i think the actuator arm is still hanging up cuz if you blow in fuel line, its just comes up through the check/ball valve on the "HIGH" side. EIther that or my damn welch plugs i put in are leaking. Ill figure it out im sure.
