Frequently Asked Questions
The FVM36-4 features a 36mm bore with round slide design. The '4' designation typically indicates the specific jet configuration. Differences exist in bore size, slide type, and internal passages. Consult Mikuni documentation for detailed comparisons.
The FVM36-4 is commonly used on vintage bikes and custom builds. Verify compatibility by checking your engine displacement, intake manifold diameter, and fuel system type. Contact Mikuni or consult fitment guides for your specific application.
Regular maintenance includes: cleaning jets annually, inspecting gaskets for leaks, checking fuel lines for cracks, and adjusting idle/mixture screws as needed. Full carburetor cleaning is recommended every 2-3 years or if performance issues develop.
The FVM36-4 can be configured for either gravity feed or fuel pump operation. Verify your specific model's fuel inlet design and consult documentation for pump compatibility and pressure requirements.
