The kit was from v-performance.com
Expect to get a box of stuff with no documentation whatsoever, and you'll have to fabricate your own choke arrangement... unless the kit has improved lately.
If you've never dealt with anything other than SU's it can be puzzling trying to adjust the things, and the Mikuni tuning guide is written for motorcycle applications that use only one carb. If you've never laid ass upon a motorcycle the guide is even more confusing.
I haven't found anything that thoroughly explains the theory of operation of the Mikunis' and had to resort to emailing a guy selling kits for Triumph sportscars to get some of my basic questions answered because I have no frame of reference for how the carbs are supposed to behave.
I have no idea what the fuel economy is like; it doesn't seem to be atrocious.
Performance is good once the engine is fully warmed up, performance when cold is lousy even with the choke, and I have to assume some more hardware changes will have to be made to the carbs at this point; which is why I shelled out for an AFR gauge.
It is NOT a kit for beginners, and DON'T expect the carbs to be setup correctly
for your engine right out of the box.
