alcoholbanshee Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I think they are tmx because i run 38 mikuni tms and they have pilot jets There is a difference between the TMX and TMS. The tms carbs do not have pilot jets....I used a set way back in the day. They worked good. The only thing I remember is you have to have the correct needle, like a Lectron. That is the key to tuning them...LOL. I think I still have some needles laying around.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, what's your set-up and do you remember what needle you had in them. The needle i have is the richest they make according to the sudco book. I didn't want to spend the money on a new intake if the carbs didn't work but it might be worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
