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 👍🏼

@@Black66 I got another VM22 from Chi-na because I thought I messed up the float height and didn't want to play with it. Everything was different. Needle jet, main jet, and pilot jet. 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.

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 !

[@eddiesheeran5791]

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!

[@janicefullerton6201]

Hi I just watched your video on how to tune your Mikuni style carburetor! Thank you so much because you explain everything and leave nothing out including about the Jets great job my friend! Now I have a rather simpler question? What kind of filter do you think works best on these Mikuni carbs? The soft spongy ones like in the video or the K&N style ones? I currently have the exact same set up as you do except I don’t have a Mikuni carb yet but I was Wondering to get the kind of performance you get do you have had work done to your 212 predator engines? And what’s a good sprocket size currently I have a 72 I think it’s dock what came on the doodlebug!

Great video! Thanks to your help I know why my Coleman hesitates when I throttle up. It's because it was too lean just like you said! I moved the needle clip down a slot and that did it.

Hey man, watched your videos for a while, but I'm having issues with a carb that's identical to this one, what should I do? My bike doesn't like to idle well and whenever I give it throttle it shoots out a cloud of black smoke. I'm running a 120 jet right now and throughout the powerband it runs perfect but whenever it goes back to idle it sounds and smells really rich. Do you know what idle jets these have, and if so which ones should I run?

So you start with the idle screw one and an half turns out and slowly increase to the highest idling point. What about the slide? Where do you start with?
