This is very good info. Thank you Quocle603.
Perhaps it's a good idea to have this in Tech Library.

Had reached out to Steve Burges, he is no longer printing these......

Turning Wrenches / Front Rotor - RD350B
September 28, 2025, 04:53:11 PM
Does anyone have a 1:1 printable template for the front disc rotor? I would like to drill it out to reduce the overall front unsprung weight. The oem disc is like a boat anchor. Thanks guys.

Quote from: m in sc on September 21, 2025, 09:41:23 PMthis is exactly why I had a custom y boot printed i designed.

Thanks Mark. This would be the solution. Will now need to figure out the specs of the Y-boot....

Quote from: rodneya on September 21, 2025, 09:07:44 PMBillet Banshee intakes move the carbs back and up. Just make sure you buy from a reputable seller with genuine mikuni intake flanges and not chinese knockoff stuff. Thats not a place you want a leak.

I have a RZ motor in my 73 350 with TM34 carbs and I use a Ramair sock filter due to serious lack of space. I just stretch the openings over the carbs and it has stayed in place so far.

Thanks Rodney, I might have to get these RAM air filters. I like Marks custom Y boot.

Quote from: 1976RD400C on September 21, 2025, 11:35:55 AMHere's some pics of VM34s on my 400 to show how much room there is for them. Plenty of room for the bowls and maybe you can gauge how much taller the TMs are.

A very many thanks, very helpful. Seems like the TM series are much taller. I've snagged this from e-bay.

Turning Wrenches / Mikuni TMX34 carbs on RD350
September 20, 2025, 07:23:11 PM
Has anyone tried mounting the TMX34 (Skidoo) carbs on the RD350? Seems like the are quite tall in terms of height and I suspect that the float bowl might hit the engine case. Has anyone tried these?
TIA

Sweet!

I bet the issue lies within your ignition system. Your symptoms are of incomplete combustion within your LH side cylinder in conjunction with your pilot circuit of your carb. There are many factors that can contribute to this condition, one of them being dwell, improper or worn horseshoe arm of the CB point, worn cam, type of plug cap etc....also check to see if there is any leakage via the LH side cylinder head plug hole. A hairline crack on the threads can cause mild leakage/compression drop.

Very cool! Has anyone tried the clear clutch window mod on the RD350?
