Just a heads up. Amazon has the Mikuni HSR42 easy kits for $288.92. (the kit came with a 20 and 25 pilot and also a 160 and 165 main)

http://www.amazon.com/Mikuni-Easy-Kit-4 ... kuni+42-18

I've been building my own carb kit to come out cheaper than purchasing a premade kit.

Carb - $288
2.3 Needle and Seat - $23
Cables - $7 (walmart)
PVT Intake adapter - $100
Rubber Boot - $22
Extra jets (162.5 & 167) - $10
Air Filter - $20(amazon)
Mikuni Choke Cable - $30
Viper Racing Air Filter Adapter - $20

~$520 right now.

Put it all together yesterday and the engine starts and idles great. I think the 165 is a little fat for my motor (only gutted stocker). Going to try the 160 and see how she does. Just wanted to give some other people a heads up on where to get a good deal on the mikuni.

Kudos to you for the heads up. That's not chump change your saving there either.

Na uh, you can't put together a carb kit for less than $500....

I've done it three times.

And it really didn't take much looking around either.

Good info may have to try this

You forgot the choke

And there are a few places that have carbs for 250 and less

At 288 plus 23 for needle and 20 for choke you are at 331 $ and the boat dr will sell it to you ready to go for 350 and usually has them at my door the next day

If you look a little harder you can find them at 250 I just often have people who want there boats right now and boat dr usually has the parts in stock

Sometimes the convenience of a kit is worth it! I just did a Big Block (CDI Marine) Stage 1 Black Death Performance System on my GTR35. I have remote side console and the only thing that wasn't direct fit was throttle cable but with a Dremel tool and a little careful trimming on cable end and drilling one hole, adjusting cable travel on console throttle assembly it works great!

Im sure glad that people are finally starting to shop around. I did this exact thing about 3-1/2 years ago and the people on here though I was satan for even mentioning it. Fuck, convenience? Just because they threw in some nuts and bolts made it another $300 - $400 dollars. I said it then and I'll say it now, there screwing and preying on the stupid. With just a small amount of shopping around, you can save big time money. Not $20-$50, I mean $100's.

What did you PD guys use to connect the throttle cable to the arm that comes off the back of the tiller?

I used a badass little adapter made by the one and only Bayouboy.

Im doing the same for my 23

TM 32 - 32mm flat slide $130 but a round slide which is in BPS Kit i can be had for $100 from amazon if you wanted to save a little more $

black death intake, bps throttle lever and throttle cable $180 shipped

K&N filter RC-2880 $40 from amazon
Rubber flange adapter $20 from amazon

So $370 aint bad at all considering i have a better carb and the upgraded throttle lever
the only reason I spent $40 in the filter is to hopefully use my stock gutted exhaust. Still save almost $400 as well and could be done for under $300 if you wanted.

Several things to do. You can get a barrel or you can make one using an allen head bolt. Drill a hole through it and run wire with a crimp. I used 2 crimps for just in case. 3 years later, no problems.

Blasphemy, I tell ya!

No, I'm talking about the throttle cable adapter.
