Hi. I am looking for the fuel inlet plate for a 38 mikuni. I need the plate from the carb WITHOUT the pump.
It just has fuel in and return out on it.
My return side of this plate is clogged solid and I cannot clear it out. So the fuel is not returning back to the tank.
Thanks

If you want to send me your plate I will run it through the ultrasonic cleaner and see if I can get it unstopped for you , most likely I can , just pay the shipping back and forth .

Thanks! Your awesome.
I actually worked on it for hours today and finally got it to clear out. I soaked it in cleaner overnight and used a guitar string I got from a buddy who sacrificed a string off his guitar for me (Thanks Jeff!) to push it through. Took a while but it finally cleared out. Back together and now returning fuel to the tank. Really hoping this was the low end bog I have been fighting for weeks.
Surprised how small the port is for the return fuel.
Anyway thanks again for the offer! Your the man!

Anytime , one more useful tidbit , Yamaha carb cleaner will clear just about anything clogged given enough time , pretty much any Yamaha dealer should have it on the shelf.

We used it to clean the carbs on non -current Yamaha's that sat in the crates for years with gas in the tanks and in the float bowl, on top of that the fuel stabilizer they used somehow got algae in it and it stopped up everything. The worst was the small jets in the bottom of the float bowls for the chock circuits .
