Hi:
Do you already have the vm-34? reason I mention is I think thats to the larger side for that motor. My first reaction would be a 30 or 32 (Probably 32) as you'll loose low-end response with a large Carb. I think the 34 will work well enough, but more low end is usually more important in these. ( I have no JLO 340 experience, this is just thoughts. Don (site/real name) may chime in, or ask him if you're buying a carb. I'm sure he's tried everything that may work on that engine. (Or JBF, or Whipper, or JoeM, or Hydromike or TechFX, or.... Man this is a great site)
