Post your Mikuni carb pics.
#7
Mikuni is excellent for stock or mild stree port, not for max hp in a wildly ported engine, but can easily make a stock 12a release 150hp with decent exhaust and ignition. This is my DD with full interior its the conservative nice car, my 83 however, well, I'll reveal that later on.

Hey Scott, no problems, just trying to work this thing out, have it mounted, fuel lines run, just working on the throttle linkage and whatever those two nipples are supposed to do...

Hope this helps give you an idea of the brackets needed. I don't really want to part this carb out, it was set up for an SE and I have the UIM for it too.
You might try contacting Wolf Creek Racing, they are the east coast supplier fo Mikuni. There is one on the west coast too, but I don't remember who they are.

Your other pics will be in the mail soon.
In the top pic, the bracket at the top of the spring holds the cable sheath, one jamb nut goes on each side like oem. The cable then wraps around the curved lever arm, lays in the square block at the bottom, it's held in place there by a screw and the round end of the cable goes in the very bottom hole.
The lower pic shows the top of the carb and the starter lever and bracket where the choke cable goes. Th Mikuni's don't have a choke, per se, it's called a starter circuit and richens the mixture instead of reducing the air flow with a choke butterfly.
You can order a manual from Wolf Creek that covers most of the operation and tuning of the carb. You will get a loose leaf copy of the original. PM me if you want a copy of a copy.
Does your carb have the lever arm on the other side of the throttle shaft for the mop rod? When I bought mine on eBay, the mop rod didn't come with it. The 1st gen rods are too short. I ended up modifying a 2nd gen one to fit, then had to drill the pivot on the mop lever to accept the larger diameter 2nd gen rod.

Update, apparently I have a race linkage which allows for throttle cable adjustment to get better response for track days, cool huh, I also found the cable link, it was attached to the top of the carb, i just didn't recognise it as it was out of place (for security)
See the brass screw to the upper right, that's the linkage.
