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 !

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!

I bought mikuni vm30s for my motorcycle. I couldn’t for the life of me get them jetted. When I did the bike would stall. If It didn’t stall they would run lean. These stores ship these carbs out (ready to run) and I guarantee they are lean. Mostly all of them are lean. I’m really hesitant to get one for my mini bike after I gave up on the vm30s I had for the motorcycle. I put the stock carbs back on and they run great lol. I really don’t have luck with mikunis. They are easy to swap brass on but for me. They are hard to tune to get perfect. Just my opinion.
