3TJ1 Carb Kits
Posted: Sun May 06, 2012 10:47 am
Hi All,
I have edited this first post several times so the responses will seem a little strange. This is to avoid having to go through a list of posts and corrections to find the real information. There is some interesting posts on the net about these o-rings and especially the effect the air screw o-ring has on low speed running. See post #37 at

I did not even ride my own 3TJ1. Looked at the colour of the exhaust, started it, pulled tank to reveal fuel leaks all over the place and rusty tank. Stripped the carbs to reveal that all the o-rings were rotten.
A cross-reference is available at http://www.allensperformance.co.uk/ Even if you avoid genuine and buy Mikuni parts you should save a heap of money. Table is shown below. This should suit all Mikuni BDST carburetors.
Of course the table shown at Sudco doesn't match.

These two are for fuel and breather banjos

3LK-14147-00-00 x 4 =
My original assumptions about JIS were mostly wrong. As I mentioned in another post if I can get my own float bowl o-rings done then I might see if I can source these in bulk quantities to put kits together. In Viton of course.
Some of these sizes are specials but there are O-rings that are close enough to be acceptable.
FUEL TAP - Just based on what seems a good fit.
large one AS-125
small one AS-13. (AS is American Standard)
cheers
