Purchased Mikuni VM 36 carb for my 77 Penton 250GS6 from OEM cycle. Installed it with the set-up as purchased. I live in Maryland -- essentially at sea level. Did a shake-down run with the new carb install in April. Couldn't be happier with the carb and bike's performance.  Bought a few airbox rubber boots from Al and trimmed down the carb air intake. Zero problems with this setup. Had essentially the same setup for my 81 KTM 250GS enduro -- again, no problems.

Hope this helps.
