As many of you know our Minarelli's come come with a TK brand carb. Main Jets are easy to find as they use the VM11/22 style. According the many blogs I've read...even the Yamaha Scoots and smaller motorcycles come with the TK carb. I cannot find a resource for pilot jets for these things...not even Yamaha as they carry is the stock pilot jet. After reading the many blogs..probably % or better of the folks said they complained and would never buy Yamaha again. So Yamaha needs to wake up and provide a lil customer service....or they are gonna lose business. I find it odd they would use a Mikuni type clone..but apparently Yamaha is looking for a bigger profit margin Anyway I have read posts here where folks have increased or decreased the Pilot Jet size on their TK carbs and I am bewildered as to where they found the TK style Pilot Jets. If ANYBODY here has resource...PLEASE let me know. As I said I even contacted 3 Yamaha shops...they say yes their older scoots....50 80 100cc kids backyard type dirtbikes and their 200 and 250cc Enduro bikes use TK carbs...BUT they only carry and can get the stock size Pilot Jets for them. Thanks in advance for any help.. Glenn, aka...Yayiima benatigee

[replyingto=skuttadawg]skuttadawg[/replyingto]Kevin..what size comes stock? We can't read either of my scoots..we even cleaned it up and used a magnifying glass.... appears to be 40??could be 30?? Ya just can't read either one. One person told me stock was 42 another told me stock was 40. Have never had any jets come with any 2T or 4T BBK I have installed for myself or a customer. Even the expensive Race Kits did not come with either jet... What kit did you buy that came with a Pilot Jet?

So if stock is #40....too bad they don't make a #42 instead of just #45. A jump of 5..say #80 to # is not much on a main jet....but a jump of 5 seems like a lot for that tiny pilot jet. But sent you a PM...I will take the #45...
