Oh, it's "Bull Shit?" Angelo, no one doubted "your" positive experience with these OKO's. It's when you start ragging out Mikuni's to people on the forum who do want to learn something that I take exception to. If you don't know how to repair or tune a Mikuni, don't comment on it. If you think an OKO doesn't require tuning, then you just got lucky. They sell jets, and shims for their slide heights in packs of five for a reason.
Here is the "first start" video of a hot rod HS 40 I had just finish the build on. Granted, I would not have posted the video on You Tube, if the bastard wouldn't have started right up!
I am using a carburetor you sold me as a genuine Mikuni, only to find it was a "Chikuni." The reason you couldn't make this carburetor work on your engine was because someone had got inside and mangled the metering jet retaining clip. That is the clip that keeps the needle at the correct position to slide in and out of the main jet during throttle transition. It performs the same function as the shims you get with your OKO carburetor, which is a Keihin copy, made in Taiwan. And that is not bullshit either.
The other reason your "Chikuni" wouldn't work is that someone had installed a huge pilot jet in it. A big enough hole to make a small block Chevy idle. The main jet however was too small, even for my little HS40.
I'm not slinging any bullshit on this forum Angelo. As a matter of fact, if I don't know what I am talking about, I tend to keep my mouth shut.
And here is the bike finished. It now resides in another member's garage on the other side of the US, so I hope I don't piss him off posting videos of my "has been" show and tell.
