If it's the stock carb, it's a Mikuni. They are a bear to get running right if it sits for a while without being run. Once they do run correctly, however, they run fantastically on the trail. They handle radical angles very well.

If you're looking for a reman, I got one from FC Products a couple years ago and it's performed superbly since then.

I'm having a hard time following this conversation? What does a Holley 650 have to do with anything?

I think RaiderRascal got some bad info. Or maybe crossed with the Caravan 2.6 info? Some of those models had Holley's on them didn't they?

Like the Cap'n said, it should be a Mikuni two barrel on there unless a previous owner switched it out. Can you tell us what carb you currently have?

im not sure what kind of carburater is on there now but the original owner did have an extra. He said he switched out right before i bought it, but the 2 look the same.

Roll Me Over
If it looks like this (ignore the arrows) from the front, on the passenger side, with the air cleaner removed: it's the stock factory Mikuni carb.

Carbs don't add HP, They mix fuel and air at 14:1 ratio thats it!. The only bolt in replacement for the Mikuni is the Weber and those that claim it runs better are comparing the 20 year old Mikuni against a new Weber.

There is no quick fix for HP for the Raider unless you go turbo. Everything else is a solution looking for a problem <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />
