    I have a 150cc bike that comes with a horrible carb and I have been wanting to get a mikuni carb for it but worried I won’t get it tuned right so I just waited. Came across your video and this is by far the most informative video out of all the ones I’ve been looking at lately, step by step breakdown on what to do. Now I feel confident in buying the carb and tuning it, thanks for this video sir keep up the good work 👍🏼

    I meant to comment on the 99cc tank !! I love um’ room for a lot more engine!! ❤
    I got a little more trash than I like in my carb and after I tore it down , vat , u no the works ! I’m getting old and forget full , only thing I did wrong was the stainless washer was on the wrong side of the o ring
    Unable to mix right , realized
    Correct ed but It won’t mix right . Can’t dial it in. I guess
    i damaged something. Runs about like factory ! But I’ve built a lot of performance engines and a few supercross bikes , this little Chinese carb has given me hell ! Lol to stubborn to spend 32$ on another one because I can’t find what the issue is, and think next time I will ! 😂 maybe the love of a challenge!!
    I love u videos , you know your stuff ! Much love ! Keep up the good work. Your helping 1000zz ❤

Even the fuel screw threads. I only got one short ride with the Nibbi flat slide, but it feels nice. I ordered 4 different carbs and there's a brand called "maple" and the quality is unreal for like $30. I stuck with the Nibbi because I had been wanting something real nice.

    Great video! I've been binge-watching the Road to Horsepower on Red Beard's Garage channel, and there's an episode where he dyno's 4 different carburetors, including this one. The gains are massive, which means the stock carb is woefully undersized & probably designed for maximum fuel economy. I'm very tempted to grab one of these chikuni vm22's & dial it in!

      If you have a cone type air filter, get a foam type filter and see if it runs leaner. Some of the cone type air filters are restrictive and can make it run rich. Black66 has a video where the bike didn't run well with the cone type filter. Most likely because it ran so much richer than the foam type filter.

      You shouldn't have to adjust it with the choke on. Everything has to be sealed up. Even the gasket on the slide where the cable goes in. Make sure she's getting fuel.🚀🚀

    I've never had one of these carbs before. I've always bought the stock appearing bored out ruixxing carbs but now I am getting ready to make the switch and was thinking of getting a 28mm Flat Slide Carb for my modified 224 Mini Bike because everything I've read about these carbs everyone is saying the Flat Slides perform better but they can be a pain to tune compared to the round slides. So my questions are do you have a video out on how to tune the Flat Slides or are they tuned the same way as the round slides just more finicky? Are the flat slides really that difficult to get running right? Remember it'll be my first attempt at a slide carb so........?

    Been watching the channel for a while now and I love your videos. I recently got a "mikuni" from Amazon and my 224 will run with the choke on but shuts off when choke is off. I cleaned every jet and adjusted the slider many times but can't seem to get it running right. It has a 125 main jet right now and the only mods are race throttle, governor delete, and this carb and intake any ideas?
