Rps Hawk 250 carburetor

Studmuffin2013 · 11-05-2016, 07:18 PM

I want a new carb I don't want to have to take the stock carb apart to adjust.... I want a carb with the mixture screws on the outside like a normal carb... any ideas?

The mixture screw is on the outside, on the bottom... has a black tamper proof plug you have to pop out to get to the actual screw.

Thank you for your time, I will have to look for that I have done research for the past year I have had it and all I see is everyone has to Dremel a slit in the screws on the bottom of the bowl to take it off then they adjust from there... so I will definitely look for that black plug

Yes, that is to change the jets, The jets are different than the mixture screw. The jets are usually wrong for your altitude and need to be changed for better performance. any carb you buy you will need to pull apart and change the jets.

Yes. A Mikuni VM 26. They are on e-nay for around 30 bucks. You should buy 110 and 115 main jets. Wait and see if you need a new pilot jet.

But you still have to pull it apart, just not dremel the screw slots.

My $30 VM26 is great. very easy to pull apart and you can save money on band-aids.

Well, there is no free lunch. Yes you have to drop the bowl to change the jets, but you don't have to tear the carburetor apart. Also, the Mikuni is far easier to get jets for than is a Keihan. The thread pitch is different between the two, on the jets.

Mine is like motocheez and takes mikuni jets. Have them in it right now, A lot of people have bought the 30 dollar carb. if You do hey its your $ people who have jetted the stock carb and then purchased the mikuni have not noticed any difference.

Either way, the jets are the same, you change them the same way, and the mixture screw is on the outside

The jets are not the same. Just as ARH said they have a different thread pitch.

They sure fit in mine and motocheez's bike.....without any force, have you even tried them? maybe keihin jets wont fit in the stock carb....

hertz9753 · 11-06-2016, 05:06 PM

I'm not using the stock carb and Mr. Muffin was asking about an aftermarket carb in his first post. The jets in the link will fit in the stock carb but not the Mikuni.

The mikuni jets are what I am using in my stock carb. The same jets everyone said to buy with the mikuni carb. I think they are the same thread (stock and mikuni carb). I do not see a link to jets but his original post was just about a mixture screw. both have it, If he wants to spend the money thats fine, he just dosent have too, the stock carb is fine.

On the left is a main jet that fits in the VM 26 and on the right is one that fits in the stock Hawk carb.

Jmcgee · 11-06-2016, 08:11 PM

threads look longer but the same pitch, jets look the same dimensional size and it fit and works. Next time I pull it i will take pics.
