I am thinking about ordering new Mikuni jets for my '75 RD350 and I have a few questions:
Is the baffled air box a handicap on my stock (except for Bassani chambers) '75 RD350? Is there any real advantage to changing to the earlier style box? I may know where to get one if it is worth the effort.
Do you normally jet up for chambers? If so, how much?
Do you jet a combo like mine as was original given that today's fuel is so much different than 50 years ago? My right hand plug looks good as is. But I am fighting a fouling left cylinder and am just throwing EVERYTHING I can think of at the problem.
How do I identify the baffled from the non baffled? I tried the search, but didn't have any luck.
It currently has the yellow foam air filter, UNI I think. Is that one okay? If not, please recommend one.
Thanks guys! :thumbs:

its not the box, its the filter itself
the later box breathes just fine
earlier ones w an unbaffled filter run 140 mains stock so, its a better option if you still have the baffled air filter in it. I would imagine the stock af is long gone though
Wasn't there a factory notice showing how to make the boxes breath better?
I seem to remember that.

So, just to be clear; my bike has a yellow UNI filter. So that means that I am not dealing with anything baffled and I need to run the larger main jet. Do I have that right?

that was an early tsb, yes. the lid front gets opened up. the later lids have an 'overbite' of sorts. I 'think' it was for r5s though
yes. correct.
Thank you very much! That takes the guess work out of much of what I am trying to do.
Do you jet up when any when you install chambers when all else is stock? I will monitor the plugs, but I just wanted to get a sense of what to expect.

yes. start at 150 -160 mains all else stock except pipes.
:thumbs: Thank you............AGAIN!
