 Re: Mikuni kit, buyer beware
His comment just goes back to saying everyone's stage motors are not all the same, most say Cam, heads and exahaust is a stage 1, cam-heads-exhaust and carb is a stage 2, cam-heads-carb-rods-pistons-exhaust is an extreme stage 2 lol stage 3 is getting into milling the block

 Re: Mikuni kit, buyer beware
All polishing does is sell heads to people that don't know any better. It's about size and shape. Whoever did those heads is leaving a lot of power on the table.

 Re: Mikuni kit, buyer beware
For those saying you are sure he will make it right and it's a miscommunication you are right on one part. He FAILED to communicate to me about getting something different. When I approached him about the restocking fee the first story was "the 45 would've worked fine". Well, I didn't order a 45 I wanted a 42. That changed his story to " well I told you I was sending a 45 you just don't remember". Bullshit that convo NEVER happened. So then he said "I have to pay to send it back to BPS since you changed your mind". Bullshit I never changed my mind, I returned the item I didn't order. And I doubt he sent it back to BPS, probably sent it right along to the next guy like he did with me. So ten the story is "you ordered a bps kit and that's what you got, sorry bout your luck go fuck yourself" in so many words. That guy can eat a bag of dicks.

 Re: Mikuni kit, buyer beware
I bought a 45 from Calen before the season. He set it up with the optimum needles. Haven't installed it yet. I knew exactly what I was getting and I believe Rod (AKA Team Camo) would have informed the OP of this as well.

 Re: Mikuni kit, buyer beware
Maybe thats why Dguidry thinks he a great guy, he has Rob, mixed up with Rod….or he's just dyslexic.

 Re: Mikuni kit, buyer beware
Just buy your Mikuni carbs from amazon. Replace the needle and seat, replace the main jet and buy the couple little bullshit parts on your own. You will save a bunch of money! I paid under 300$ for my 42mm Mikuni and a total of under 500$ for everything I needed to install the carb. If you are doing all the mods yourself then you should be able to make up this bullshit kit yourself.
