Post by eastrider »

Hello i am happy to be here thank you for letting me in i have a 1985 KDX 80 with a VM26SS 30mm carb on it i think its a 30mm but i am looking for a replacment carb for it i was looking at the PWK 30mm Carb on ebay and i even checked for a new mikuni carb but can not find a carb for the year when i check to see for compatible vehicles for the 1985 kdx 80 and all the carbs i check say they are not compatible so i was wondering if anyone knows what carb to get i am not sure if the carb i have on the bike is complete seems to be missing the screw for the air fuel mixture. if anyone can help please that would be great thanks.

Welcome! :supz:

If it has a Mikuni VM26SS then it is a 26mm carb. First things first... why are you needing/wanting to replace the carb?

Check out jets r us website. Pull up the exploded view of the Mikuni VM26. There are pictures and if that’s your carb they sell a rebuild kit for $29 that has the air screw, float valve, idle screw, springs and seals. Maybe that could help.
