Re: mikuni 42mm installation

I have fitted 2 mikuni hsr 42 carbs to my 2 evo big twin bikes without any problems however one of them was a used carb and i should have used a rebuild kit and replaced some components prior to fitting and had to take it off again to replace the float needle
so a rebuild is a good idea prior to fitting
on the earlier models of the carb the cable points were toward the rear cylinder and later models toward the front cylinder just like the stock cv so you may have to adjust the cable location to suit
