Manufacturer reference: VM15/172-1.5
Brand: MIKUNI — Category: Needle
This 1.5 Mikuni needle kit is designed for VM18 and VM20 series carburetors. An essential wear part, the needle controls the fuel flow into the bowl: when in good condition, it ensures the sealing of the circuit, prevents overflow, and contributes to stable carburation.
- Usage: replacement of worn or leaking needle on VM18/VM20 carburetors.
- Practical benefits: restores the bowl level, reduces the risk of jet flooding, and facilitates carburation adjustment.
- Audience: motorcyclists in maintenance, tuners, and workshops looking to maintain clean and reliable carburation.
Points of attention: check compatibility with your VM18 or VM20 carburetor before installation. Replacement involves disassembling the bowl and checking the float; take this opportunity to inspect jets and seals. The VM15/172-1.5 kit fits as an original Mikuni replacement and allows for proper operation without unverified technical promises.
