Beta use shit carbs, they purchased a job lot years ago from Mikuni and fitted them to all there bikes for years. They were shite, Pissed fuel everywhere as the vacuum pipe design was flawed and would not start unless the bike was on a flat surface, The old Aprilia climber and the old Gas Gas were hard to beat. Would that be the mikuni tmx 38 carb if so there shit they fitted them on the o3-05 kx125 there plagued with problems 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No it's for the 1968 vespa smallframe.Its running a tuned ali barrel that's nicoseal lined so the pipe needs to be mild steele rather than stainless for heat dissipation.Hopefully that's the last spending for a while now as I'm already about 3k past what I'd ever realistically get back for it if I decided to sell it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
