Hello i bought this carb for my Honda dio engine. I want to ask if there will be a problem because my engine inlet manifold is straight and this carb it has got the sloped induction. Also does anyone knows what Mikuni flatslide carb is. I got it from a Yamaha DTR 125 but i can't find any information. Thanks

It's probably supposed to be mounted on something like this:

Perhaps there is something in the yamaha DTR 125 user manuals about the carb:

Save the files before opening, they are pretty large..

No mate. The carb will put on my dio engine on that manifold. This manifold when install on my engine will be 0degrees as my engine is on factory angle.

hi,
iirc, the older ones had the vm26 (essentially same carb as the 125 gamma & mtx125,just different jets) got a couple lying in bits in ma big box of carb bits.
&, the later ones had the TM28.(imo a far better carb, though its not much bigger)
should be easy enough to identify by checking the workshop manuals,

Perhaps this helps you? Apparantly its either a VM26 or a TM28

VM series carbs are round slide, TM are flat slide.

Thank you tiba. Do you think is good choice to go on with this Mikuni 28mm carb with main jet: 210 and pilot: 60? Or is better to buy bigger carb Mikuni TM34 for example. My engine setup is: Honda super dio engine with 54mm bore, 52.6mm stroker crank, V8 drag straight pipe, 7:1 gears, CT manifold. Thank you for any help.
