I picked up a couple incomplete mikunis off of ebay. slides springs and tops are missing, but the rest is intact. No mounting hardware or linkages, either and I do not know what they came off of. They are Left and Right carbs, and the left side carb has a working horizontal plunger for the choke. I am having trouble locating any resources on how the L and R carb chokes and linkages are supposed to work together. Thank you.
thanks for the help and information, turns out they arent vm30s they are vm28s for a yamaha banshee, I am gonna resell them on ebay and try again. The one side has a working pull choke so I may adapt it and get another 28 and just run those. super annoying though. Ill have to do a little adapting from 2 to 4 stroke .
If you have the late model Banshee carbs with TORS tops you need to get the replacement tops.
I have a couple of slides that won't work for me as the guide slot is on the 'wrong' side
The choke is a total non-issue, you use the cable choke from any VM Mikuni on both, they are available aftermarket from various places in anodized aluminium (I have a few of the OEM plastic tops) Use the cable choke plunger

I forgot I had 2 sets done, had to upload to photobucket.
I use a pull up choke on right carb and the lever on left.
You could also use a link bar between levers but I don't like to do that when there are no mountings between carb to keep themin line. Cable choke is another option
thanks for posting up those pics. Problem is, I've learned these are actually vm28s off of a Yamaha Banshee. I am gonna make them work, though. One carb has a choke and its linked to an enrichment port on the other, which has no real choke.
Strange, I haven't seen that on Banshee carbs, only Suzuki T/GT250
Dead easy then all you need is a longer tube between carbs.
28's should work even better than 30's, they will support around 30+bhp each (if you used single carb for both cylinders)
Flow isn't a problem. (Single VM32 will support around 45~50bhp)
I've used as 'small' as VM26 on 391cc 'CJ250' which was good for 120mph 8)
I was planning to use two carbs for two cylinders, I hadnt even considered using a single carb for both. Triumph 650 used one single 30mm Amal carb, I dont see why I couldnt run a single 28 on my two cylinder 360. With the proper jetting of course.
