I purchased a 28 mm carburetor from my local dealer.  He ordered it from Marshall, got it for about $85.00.  Carburetor number is VM28SC-E0865.

The only changes I made were to change the pilot jet to 40, main jet to 160 and the needle to a 5F3.  Needle is set at the first notch, or the richest position, (all the way UP).  I'm sure there are a better needle and needle jet set ups, but this works great.  The needle jet is a 169 N-8, which is standard on this carburetor. The air screw is out 1¼ turns.

To mount it on a SixDay I did the following:

Cut the air boot on the air box side one ring making sure the diameter is the same.  The boot is now shorter.

The diameter of the boot side of the carburetor is similar to that on a JackPiner with a Bing.  Use the same rubber sleeve, clamp it together and the air box side is done.

On the engine side of the carburetor I shortened the spigot by sanding it on my stationary belt sander.  Remove enough metal that the spigot on the carburetor fits close to the spigot on the intake of the cylinder.  They are of similar diameter on most cylinders so a hose and clamps will take care of the engine side of the carburetor.

Now you will notice the carburetor has to lean about 15 degrees to clear the pipe.  I ran mine like this for a year with no problems.  Recently I did some "fine tuning" on the pipe to make room for the carburetor to stand straight up.  This took no more than a torch and a hammer.

That's about it.  Hope it works for you as well as it has for me.

I'm running a 28mm Mikuni on a "B" motor.  I'll pull it off and post the numbers in the next two days.

 

I'm going and your taking me.  When are we going to have that operation that seporates us?

 

Do you have an idea of the number on the cases.  I may have a set.

 

Contact Scott Shope. [email protected]  He can restore about any tank and make it so nice you can see your reflection in it.  He is much cheeper than most shops and does superior work.

Larry Perkins has had a few tanks done by him, I'm sure he will attest to his work.

 

I have a set of good cases, a cylinder with built in reed box and intake manifold.  email me if you are interested.

 

I don't know anything about welding magnesium.  What I do have is a 175 with a welded case around the retaining bolt for the kick-starter spring.  It is very neat and very strong.  So I know it can be done, just don't know how or by whom.

I could use them if they are not spoken for.

Thanks

Phil

 

e-mail me your phone #.  Like to talk to you about buying your piston.

The exact rule states "Machines which exhibit unusual performance may be required to run in Sportsman 125".
