MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
I have a 1975 MGB with a Mikuni carb. I have writen the Mikuni Am. Inc., but no repley. Would like to know of any experience people have had with this type of carb, problems, what to look out for, . . . Car seem to be running fine now. Any manuals on them?
I don't know of any,but I'm sure there is. Check with Amazon.com. I really dought you will have any problems with it. It's a good Weber want a be. Just don't start messing with it. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
British Automotive in Novato, CA is one place that knows about the ones used on MGs. . 415-883-7200. That's all the info I have and it's five years old, they may have a web site by now, try your browser.
Tom was posting while I was writhing. He's right, don't monkey with it as long as it's working.
There is a British Automotive site. He has a lot of good things to say, and he even mentions the Mikuni as an excellent carb. Check it out by clicking on the Carb Choices section of this web address: http://www.mgbmga.com/tech/index.html
You should contact him, he's bound to have some info or leads. Good luck.
I have read the above Bristish Auto Web site info, and yes, he did say they were good carbs. ( not made anymore), however I know of no other car that is running them. Was hoping to find a person who has worked on or ran a Mikuni to get a feel for how good they are and if I should be looking any trouble signs. As a side note just today Mikuni sent me the book on this carb (free!). Think spring!
It's a good carb. that will give you many years of trouble free service. Just don't start playing with it.
They run Mikunis on some hopped up Honda Civics, go to: www.cam.org/~indexdrz.htm and check it out. While you're there click on "A Civic Called Beastie" it's mine. Then click on "Home" for a look at my LBC.
John, are you sure that URL is right? I get a "can't find requested page" message. I even went to cam.org , but couldn't find your page listed in member pages.
I just now went to our International Register, ran down to the 1978s, found my name, clicked on the little blue globe, and my site popped right up.
