The stuff from Exhaust Craft looks gorgeous, very close to the old Yoshi style! Wonder if they'll ship stateside? Thank you all for the information!!!
Here's the one Dave knocked up for me, flat collector for clearance & Yoshi style look about it

Wow, well according to my 38's & your 36's the difference in needle protrusion is a huge 11mm!
I would guess that it's simply a case of setting em up & hope for the best as "average" settings here are gonna count for nothing.
-
Measured the step & top of slide to base is 54mm. Step side is 52mm so the step takes up 2mm of the 4mm of the new washer.
So 2mm sits above the base of slide. On the worn ones, 1 to 1.5mm sits above the step so there's a discrepancy there.
However, i have never had these carbs on a bike & would guess that given how badly worn they are, the bike they came off must have been running pretty lean, on middle clip position!
So until others come along with the measurement for needle protrusion for a std needle on middle clip, i will move mine back to that (59mm) & assume that is the best option till it's properly set up & it then gives me lean/rich adjustment options.
-
Not got any unworn ones!
As for locating, pretty sure without butchering it to see, that they are properly located.
-
They're already off carbs duh! Anyhoo, they are 2.8 to 3mm thick
1 & 2 are stepped normally, 3 & 4 are stepped on 2 sides! So these are very poorly worn.
However, if the Metal ones are normal thickness, then my needle protrusion for middle clip should be 59mm normally. Can anyone confirm this please?
-
Good point, i'll strip em now & tell you
-
This is in no way a criticism, just an observation that i have passed on to @jonny1bump
I have fitted these to my BS38's & before, needle protrusion was at 61mm with clip in middle of 5.
After fitting, the protrusion was down to 59mm. So i raised clip to top notch of 5 & needle then protruded 61mm again.
My point was, has anyone had this when they fitted, or as J1 suggests, they were made the right thickness to stop this happening?
I will strip mine down again & double check it all, but chances of all 4 not seating correctly is remote. I can only think the step in 38's isn't as deep?
Only way of really knowing would be to cut the slide apart, if my depth gauge won't fit

Might be asked already : do they fit BST36? Plastic rings (original) have no step in them.
Whilst the rings don't have the step, the diaphragm slides most likely do. Shine a torch down the hole & have a look to see the step

Done mate, I've just sent you £20. I presume that covers UK p&p, if not we need to let people know asap.
1st or 2nd class stamp will cover it, very small Jiffy or even taped to paper in an envelope

Just a thought & tell me it's bollocks, but would it be better if the hole was "chamfered" as these needled here are badly worn & that was from plastic!
Where it has gone silver on the neck, it has worn nearly a 1/3 through on some of em!
Have to say though, not a clue what they are, was a strange mix of DJ & Mikuni parts in one set of carbs, so could be cheap Chinese shite?

Use the online portal & code then

You have a 16 cylinder bike
-
BST38's have the step
-
-
I didn't even know they existed on all the carbs i've had til this set, so proves they don't normally fall out
-
They're a pretty tight fit, surprised this one fell out. As you push it in you'll notice how well it's in
-
This seriously has me baffled & i have ordered a full set of Emulsions, needles, & just about every part that fits inside the carbs for the BST40's as they don't do a BST38 kit.
I would imagine virtually all the internals are the same, & once dyno'd then the poss differences between emulsions, needles & jets can be balanced out.
-
These are the tubes, no perforations in the right.
Jet on left is solid & is less than a mm shorter, & also the 102 & 144 mains screw in. 155 barely screws in.
Jet on right is perforated & only the 144 screw in, 102 1/2 a thread & 155 not at all?
-
Looks very similar to one set of mine, however i can't screw either DJ (left) or Mikuni (right) jets in?
-
Yes, the taper end goes in first.
I have 2 sets of needles, the first fat blunt set have no markings & IMO are DJ. These are not worn.
The 2nd set are more pointy, have badly worn at the spring end & do have markings on them which equates to a U.S. (Not Cali) needle.
So i think these are std, but are fitted in DJ jets & with 102 mains which are also DJ As per photo below. It also had 2x2 springs, first 2 having a green tint, the others plain?
-
Oh dear, the Emulsions (despite being holed & solid) are both DJ!
Main jets 102 & 144 are def DJ!
Springs are different lengths?
One set of slides are plugged, others are standard!
So i can't buy a Factory Pro kit as i will need a set of std Emulsions for the kit to work. They ain't cheap & hard to find for the 38's?
CV Carb mod to replace plastic washers, which locate under needle circlip that wear out.

Nothing to judge them again'st. Got a good set of BST34's on the drag bike atm, & thought mebbe the 38's are a better route to take later in the "tweak" stage
