Compatible Carbs.....

My old 90s Tiger 900 is fitted with Mikunis, which, are in pretty poor condition.

I decided to strip them, get them sonic cleaned, then revamp them with the super kit.....

That didn't account for the stuck jets, and general poo condition which led me to make a complete b@@@s of No.1 nearside carb.

This leaves me looking for either a nearside carb or a bank of 3 to start from scratch. At £450 each new, that is not an option....

Rocking horse sh@t springs to mind as to their availability.

Those of you with superior techno skills and knowledge.....is the carbing on the 900 Tiger the same as any other triple carb model?

Trev at the very helpful Sprint manufacturing has a set off a Speed Triple 900, but he tells me that they are not compatible.

Any ideas?

I am looking, but nothing around at the moment off a Tiger, that's why I wondered if any other model had the same set up....got to be cheaper than £1300 for new bits from World of triumph, plus I bet there would be another £15 postage ha.....

 

I have messaged them both Steve, awaiting reply, Google now in meltdown...thanks ....

 

Number one carb is feeling sorry for itself after I ham fistedly attempted to get the pilot out. It won the battle of wills and this caused damage to the thread and part of the needle remains in the carb. Other than that it was my intention to get a super service kit from Trev at Sprint Manufacturing as the carbs are 2/3 OK. I am essentially looking out to you people for advice as to what other Mikuni carbs fit the 900 Tiger, as Tiger carbs per se are, shall we say, a little rare.....there is no reference on the carbs to identify which model they are, and I am in new territory messing with carbs.....

 

Thanks Oldyam, bugger, missed that (it is very faint) I'll start googling that number.....cheers

 

Thanks all, now sussed that the Mikunis are BST 36mm with 105 jets....fitted to all early triples before they changed over to Keihin. In theory any early 36mm early Mikuni should work after a bit of adding the bits and bobs that the nearside one requires.

Now to finding one.....

 

Gentlemen...thankyou for the offers and advice. I have failed to post my update. I found a carb...no float bowl or top at £80, sold as being as rare as rocking horse poo, then found a bank of 4 carbs off a yammie from a breakers in Scotland at £60....no brianer really, the carbs are a basic Mikuni, n magic there. All I have to do is strip down and match springs and attachments. In theory I will have 3 spares at £80 each, or free to needy fellow triumph owners...many thanks, Gareth
