Wanted T350 Suzuki VM32 Carburettors

[bonnietiler]

I'm getting pretty desperate now...so working on the basis that I can't make these current carbs work.
I'm over in the UK and could seriously use a pair of good standard VM32 Mikuni carbs as fitted to a standard machine 1970/71
Thanks

Are they the same as the VM32 from T500?

Hello I am not a T350 expert but it seems the 1970 and 1971 T350 may have had 32MM carbs. For example, the carburetor specs for the 1969 and 1970 models are listed in Service bulletin Specification-11: http://www.ozebook.com/compendium/techb ... 010-14.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And the carburetor specs for 71 & 72 are listed in service bulletin Specification-6: http://www.ozebook.com/compendium/techb ... %206-9.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Unless I am screwing up they both say 32MM for the T350. And, that happens to be the same size for the T500. As the service bulletins show the only differences may be in the jetting. I got this information from the thread below and the people that contributed to that undoubtedly know more about this than I do so I suggest sending them a PM. Also, if anyone else knows the correct information please post it in this thread.

But I will also check some sources that I have and see if I can confirm the T350s had 32MM carbs like the T500s, with the differences being in the jetting. I will also let you know if I can get my hands on a pair of spare carbs from a source I have.

Now in a related matter see the photos in the link below of a 1969 T350 that I picked up for a whopping $300 bucks locally just over two years ago (and got a small gas powered scooter included in the deal too!). I took a couple of pics with it next to my Cobra just for the heck of it. The T350 was rough and not running but the motor turned over and it needed a complete resto. I should have posted the photos in a different thread sooner but I have been overwhelmed with so many other things in life like most of us (work and family). I did not keep the T350 - I traded it to someone in exchange for a bunch of NOS parts and a new paint job for the body set of my 1970 T500 project. And I sold the non-running scooter for $50 bucks on craigslist! Regards, Eric

I have a pair of carbs that measure 32.5mm with my calipers. They are from a T500, but I don't remember what jets are in them, etc. One of them has a small JBWeld repair to a float bowl leak. I think they need new gaskets and all that. I'll make you a great deal..... like pay shipping. Let me know....
