3ma restore third time lucky

[Louis]

what bit is 34 I'm confused

The size measured at the end off the carb is the diameter where we all talking about.
(the diameter that counts is the smallest point off the carb)

If you have 30mm then you have carbs from the 3MA3 or 3MA5
If you have 32mm then you have carbs from the 3MA1
If you have 34mm then you have carbs from the 3MA4

Measure them in the middle or frond is not relevant

So these are not sp carbs then?? Oh well nevermind

[jodydid]

What is the od of 3ma carbs?? Do sp's have bigger inlet rubber id? Mine are 40mm

[Louis]

So these are not sp carbs then

No, they should be 34mm for a SP

350 pounds is Extremely pricey
Parts are going double price when terms like SP, SUGO or FIII are used.


Also a small detail is:
500 SP bikes where made (complete bikes for on the road)

But SP parts could just be ordered from Yamaha.
-Carbs
-Dry clutch
-Gearbox
-cylinders
-heads
-etc

This means there are much more SP parts, then there where complete bikes.
So they are not that RARE

Also have heard, that SP bikes could be ordered from Yamaha without frame number if you where racing it in a sugo/formula class.
Can't confirm this, but it don't sound that strange.

So on overall, don't let the 500 number drive you made

Yes, they have.
Part number SP rubbers are also different

[jodydid]

thats abit dishonest selling 3ma-1 as sp's

[maccas]

O.D. of the part the goes in the reed rubber of the 34mm SP carbs is 44mm the same as the big carbs on a 3xv.

TZ carbs will fit in 3ma SP reed rubbers

you made the best decision jody
love the cyan colour
is it a propper sp or a collection of sp parts ?

[jodydid]

It's not a full sp it's a 3ma-5 I'm just lucky I guess I only payed £300 for it

I will have it cyanide green but next year when I've got more spare cash and less projects I'm going kenny Roberts yellow black and white after market fairings and buying a spare tank from gecko motorcycles to paint along with the genuine fairings that way I can do a track day and leave the good fairings safe at home

[jodydid]

Got her home again on the finishing straight fairing fit better than I thought the only bit that needs abit of work is the centre panel on the seat unit it sits proud
