Hi all, I’ve got an Italian GP125 with GP200 gearing, a Casa 185 kit that has been bored out to 198, a BGM electronic ignition timed at 20 BTDC, a BGM big bore exhaust and a Mikuni TM28 carb. The carb is the new item. Can anyone suggest jetting, a needle and an atomiser please?

By the way the cylinder set up is with the squish set at 1.5mm and the piston sits at 1mm above the bottom of the exhaust port at BDC.

I can’t assist with jetting advice but I would be cautious about your timing, at least whilst you are trying to set up. I’d be working on 18 or even 17 Deg BTDC to take account of modern fuel

Hi chaps, thanks for the replies- I'll try that setup first Norrie, cheers. Bike Grim, yeah know what you mean re timing- I only left it at that as my BGM stator slots need enlarging to get it to move round to -16/17, and I haven't got a decent Dremel attachment or grinding bit to do it at the moment.

Anyway, I'll try it with needle jet =169-08, main= 180, pilot=40, needle=2nd from top of clip or middle, and report back.
