The Tm33-8012 seem quite do-able. My single 40 was vertically challenge. This would be a horizontal challenge. Maybe they can be ganged together like the 35 keihins from CNW? I wonder if the come left and right, I kinda doubt it.
Google Dellorto PHF36. I bet that would be a kick ass setup.

Nah I definately mean the tm33 pumper carb.
Peter, I saw
Your recent post on the delorto w/ acc pump. Looks very, very appealing. They have a round slide though don't they? Do you lose some of the snap that you get with flatslide versus the round? I'm not really sure as my only comparison is between (1x)vm36/(2 of) 32mm animals vs the js pwk 32mm (2 of)
Ah I love carbie time

I don't know about that, but their funtionality and quality is renound. Somewhat incomparable.Dkt26 said:
The only reason I mention them is because of my own interest in them. If I was looking for a single carb option over a mikuni, which I know you are not, and if I had less of a cam, I would go for one of these.
Peter,
Found this today. Just need to work out wtf it says and what's relevant to commando 850

My Mikuni VM36mm has a #240 main jet w/ #40 pilot jet using the stock jet needle and the clip on the 2nd from top position. It starts pretty easily and seems to get decent mileage, which is one of my primary requirements as I'm not that interested in balz out top-end performance.
With the Dellorto PHF36 I would try to match something up from that sheet if possible, otherwise go with a stock setup if there is such a thing and be ready to tune with mains, pilots and needle positions. Although some jetting number can be standard to some extent, Dellorto numbers may have nothing to do with Mikuni.Dkt26 said:
My Mik 40 came with a standard setup up off the shelf and required only slight changes. I think I got lucky to a point. That being said, I had purchased extra needle jets, main jets, and pilot jets. Richened the needle jet 1 step, main jet up 3 steps, needle went up one notch and the pilot stayed the same. This is, of course, relative and is only an example of what one might expect from experimenting I found that with this pumper and maybe others you can get a rich condition with little effort so for me, I had to tippy toe it from a lean state to balance.
My 40 is very popular with the modern single 650s but was used quite a bit on HD Sportster (known as the "easy Kit") some time ago and proved to be a little small for them. That is what spurned me to go with it for my bike. This carb is rather unique to my machine and do not recommend it as standard option. I am just stating my experience with experimenting and what led me in this direction.
I have no experience with the Dellorto PHF36 but that never stopped me before.
Just to add to the mix, if money is no object, the Keihin kit from CNW would take it over the top. I feel with such a setup, all thing should be in top notch condition, a tight head, good even compression, ect, ect.

OldBalz, I had the same setup and found the mains are very responsive to change. What i mean is that you could go to 330, run fine down low and improve top end. I found balance with a 280. This will effect milage. The point is, if you want to go oldbalzout on a particular day, you could. If just ridin in the country, slap the 240 back in. That bottom plug in mighty handy and can be done on the fly in a minute or two.
Totally agree......and I do appreciate your experience and knowledge. When I got this bike last fall it was non-running and the 36mm was already on it but the carb was setup with a pilot jet that you could drive a Gold Wing through (jet size # unreadable) and a #340 or so main and all of the adjustments were also done by a ham-fisted blind man. Put in new NGKs and drive about five miles and they were totally sooted up. So the tweaking began and what I currently have is a good compromise for an easy rider and and method of self-discipline to avoid meetings with the Oakland County Sheriff's Dept.
The next time that I make it over to GR, I'll bring along that fat main jet with a 17mm wrench and give ya a call.....
