H1 500 carb upgrade

[H1anker]

Hi guys
So iam playing with the thought of a set of tm 34mm carbs, as I have on my rd400.

Anyone has experince with this or similar?
Can you get a kit, with the rubber to go inbtween the carb and intake?

Plan is to have a set of polished Jim lomas pipes on it eventually

Heard good things about a company called Motocarb over here. Go onto their website and have a look. They specialise in Mikuni VM and TM carbs.

There are a few people that have made these bolt on adapters if you have a search around.

I see the link to Boblesbits doesn't work anymore, but maybe Peter Mac can help out, if you can't find an alternative?
Denco made them originally back in the '70's

I've got vm 34m's on orville, Peter macs adaptors and rubber carb unions from Allen's performance, easier on an h1 than a kh 500 as there's no gear shift indent

Found some pictures if it helps

Very nice thank you!

So VM carbs or tm flat slides, is it worth the Extra money to get flat slides?.
Can you tell what size jets your running

[Kezsam1]

If I told you I would have to kill you


Orville is slightly tuned, so the carbs are set up for it specifically and would not help on another set up. Better to get themset up on a dyno to suit you motor

I am running TM 32,s on a tuned H2. I am currently running 170 mains.
But as kerry mentioned above should really get it on a dyno to sort out correct jetting.

I'm running VM 34s as well. best mod i ever done... cant believe i spent 8 years fucking about with 50 year old vm 28s

[gary62]

If you want to know about settings for the vm 34s i can give you mine as a starting point. i'm running velocity stacks... but like homo boy Kerry said stick her on a dyno. If you send Kerry some nice flowers i'm sure he will send you his too

[H1anker]

Yes please.
VM 34 it is. Fairly cheap and plan on keeoibg the oil pump

The market is flooded with cheap china fakes. The china fakes even say "MIKUNI CORP" and "JAPAN" on the castings.

The real thing:

This was thje reason I bought mines on french Mikuni importator.
Evil bay, you never know what you will really get for carbs.(the whole carb or the parts)
Just know that at $ 79.99 new there is no way it will be real Mikuni but in the other side even if you pay the price of real mikuni...

Where do I get rubber manifold to fit the spacers and vm34 mm carbs?
Do a set for the h2 750 fit?

I got mine from Allen's performance, but I believe motocarb do them as well
