bluepartsman Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Maybe my searching is not as good as some on this site but I have looked through this site and the general internet but I cannot find if anyone is running T-5 pipes with TM34 mikuni carbs. I have a serious fit problem on at least the clutch side carb contacting the pipe to the point where I will not be able to install the carb(unless I rotate it almost 45 degrees). The stator side carb installs ok with a close fit but nothing too bad. I will upload pic tonight. Has anyone ever run Mikuni TM-34 with T5 Pipes? Lets see some pictures if you have. The TM-34 were a close fit with my shearer SB IF pipes but they worked with no fit problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toytech Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) I know the tm carbs are a tight fit with the old fmf pipes. you have to angle them a little bit. Edited July 3, 2013 by toytech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepartsman Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 never tried the fmfs but even with the sheares I had to rotate the clutch side carb maybe 2-4 degrees and it runs great. but 45 degrees looks a little radical and from what i know about carbs they might not even work at that angle. the intakes I have on this set up have no reed spacers and are billet one piece with cross over inside from wicked I think.

bluepartsman Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 What I have done is replace the hard billet front pipe mount i had with the rubber mount which does two things: it spaces the pipe out further to begin with and it allows much more movement(rubberm ount) when the bolts are tight. I haven not tried moving the rear silencer mount out from the frame any more than the billet hard mount i have on it. i will try that first thing tonight but will need to find longer bolts to fit washers? behind the silencer flange.

Boston Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I've ran them but it was awhile ago and it fit just fine. I can't remember what intakes I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
