working
in con-
junction
with the
main

enclosed
in
a new baffle
chamber allows the TMX
Carburetor to
perform
smoothly
without hesitation
across
the
roughest

extreme

and cornering forces.

With its intoduction
the
Mikuni TMX
Series
Racing
Carburetor signified a
new
generation
of
high
performance
carburetion
from Mikuni
designed
particularly
for 2-shoke engines in motocross,
off-road
bike and AW
racing
applications.
The TMX Series will also
perform
extremely well in
other ap
plications
including llat track
and
road
racing.
For
4-stroke engine
racing
applications the
TMX
Series
will
also
provide
a significant
performance
im-
provemgnt
over stock carburelion systems although Mikuni recommends
use of
the
RS Series Carburetors
which
were
designed
particularly
for
4-
stroke
application.
An
all
new
design, the
Mikuni TMX
Carburetor
features
a
radial
flat
slide
design working
in
a smooth bore
venturi
that establishes a new
perform-
ance standard
for
improved throttle
response,
along
with
a wider
and
stronger
overall
powerband
from
the engine.
These
performance gains
are
provided
by
the
radial
flat slide
throttle
valve
design which
produces
a 400/o
greater
boost signal lrom the air flowing
past
it for
better
throttle response
and an increased
sensitivity to tuning. Very minimum tuning
changes are
able
to
produce
noticeable results
in engine
performance.
The TMXCarburetoris
designed with a
new
lightweightand
more compact
body design with
easy
maintenance
and tuning
features.
The
carburetor's
jet
needle
position
may be changed easily
and
quickly.
