The MIKUNI return pump lever reference TM36/17 is the part designed to operate the return pump on TM36-40 carburetors and RS34-40 manifolds. Intended for motorcyclists who maintain their carburetor, this lever engages during throttle application to control the momentary fuel injection that facilitates engine response.
Designed for a replacement installation, it is aimed at maintenance or repair operations of the fuel system. Its precise designation allows for quick identification of compatibility with the relevant carburetor bodies and helps avoid mistakes when selecting parts.
Before installation, check the overall condition of adjacent components (pump rod, gasket, fastener) and ensure that the carburetor adjustment is appropriate. For safe installation, use the proper tools and follow manufacturer recommendations. If in doubt, have the entire assembly checked by a professional to ensure a crisp response and throttle behavior in accordance with original specifications.
