Is this carb the same one that thumpertalk sells part# 42-6105? The xrs only one is 350 bucks and the thumpertalk one is only $174?

Hey Drew,

I thought the same thing before I bought mine from XR's Only. Over $400.00 with CA tax and shipping is tough to take.

The XR's Only kit has custom made alum spacers epoxied on tho the Mikuni to allow it to mount to the stock XR intake and air cleaner boots. The XR's Only kit also come with new longer throttle cables. The last thing the XR's kit come pre jetted for your mods and altitude.

It is well worth the money.......

but ya know if you reroute the original cables to the right side of the frame vice left they are WAY too long for the Mikuni. I am hoping the ones XR's only provides in the kit are shorter!

No - different carbs.

I don't think the one from from ThumperTalk is a pumper carb, just a regular carb made from Mikuni.

Yah I was looking for a pumper. My dad has never had a problem with xr's in the past so I am going to go with them.

Thanks

also I was looking at the part numbers and the xrs a TM 36-50. The one on the Thumper page looks like a pumper??

Bottomline... if it's +/- $200 it's the non-pumper, if it's +/- $400 it's the pumper.

I have the non-pumper Mikuni from XRs Only on my older XR250L. The XR's kit is nice. I only had one issue that proved to be no big deal... the nipple on the end of the throttle cable would not fit through the ferrul at the top of the carb. Reemed out the ferrul just a bit and it fits.

As was posted, the non-pumper carbs and 2-stroke carbs are about 1/2 price of a 4-stroke pumper carb.

Tuning the pumper carb can be a pain. In addition to the pilot jet, needle, main jet, air jet; there are the "pumper squirt" settings.

Who ever you buy from, make sure you are getting a pumper set up for your XR. Almost everyone who has an XR's pumper has bolted it on and gone riding.

XR's carb is an EZ install too - although the cables were kickin my a## last night. Too tired to be working on it and had a major brain fart.

yah I am going to get the xrs only carb.
