If anyone is interested in upgrading carbs with the TM33 and having Bill Blue perform his magic on it, I have one that I'd like to sell.
I got this for my wife's Yamaha but after I got it, I have discovered that it will be too much trouble to adapt and install. So I have a brand new carburetor for sale.
I gave $263.40 from Ron Ayers and if someone here wants it I will take $245.00 including shipping. If you would like for me to send it directly to Bill, I can do that too.
pm me or email me foremost@wireless111.com

 

Hey Gary, I just sent you an e-mail.

Got it!
I'll ship it out this afternoon!

 

dang that was quick

btw...what does Bill charge to do the work?

 

Just a case of being at the right place at the right time, I guess.

I was already I touch with Bill last December about doing the Mikuni upgrade sometime this Spring, so it was a no-brainer.

 

I have read all the great reviews on his work, sounds like a good deal.

 

I just got my TMM33 back from Bill a couple of days ago. Another thumbs up for him.

 

I got my carb back from Bill last week. Installed it on the bike but I'm having some issues with getting it tuned just right. (This isn't a slam on Bill's work at all, there's no way he could completely set up a carb perfectly every time because of the dependencies upon intake/exhaust mods and environment).

So I'm looking for some guidance on getting it set up right. Here's a repost from what I posted over on Thumper Talk:

Here's my setup/environment:

Muzzy full exhaust system w/ quiet core and spark arrestor screen installed.
Airbox lid off
K&N filter
backfire screen removed
smog stuff removed and capped
crankcase vent goes to a breather filter (airbox port capped)
elevation: 5000'

Initial settings:
Main jet: #125
fuel/air screw: 1.5 turns out
needle: 3rd clip from top
pilot jet: #37.5

Idles good and responses very well to throttle.
Upon riding it, midrange throttle is stuttering and WOT drops out (no power)

Thanks for any help.

 

Good God, get a main jet for that thing.
I'm riding at 600asl, have BG exhaust and dual snorkles on the airbox. I started out with a 130 and worked my way up to a 135 untill the pulsating stopped at WOT.
Marty was running with no airbox lid and I believe he had a 137.5 in his. He is about at sea level.
With your lid off and no backfire screen I would guess that you would still be somewhere in the 135 range at your altitude.
Thats just a guess on my part but I'm thinking that its starving for fuel at higher rpm.
