Looks like the fcr 35 will fit
but it will be tight the only hassle I can see is that you will have to
take it in and out a lot of times getting the jetting wright
I might go the easy route and give bill Blue a call and give him some business and get one of his mikuni carbs already set up for the Klx
the fcr and the fcr mx are two different carbs very different in Physical
size I would of liked to use a fcr mx I have worked with them a lot
great carb but the mikuni flat slide pumper will be a lot better for the
klx than the stock carb
Back 2 square one

I also have a spare TMXX, and a 38 Lectron just sitting in a box. Hmm.
I've seen the TMX, but not the TMXX. Are they working on a four stroke or two stroke. From the small amount I saw they were rather temperamental kart carbs, but I have no experience and you do. The PWKs are available for a fair price though and if they're a good possibility it would be worth looking into. Do they use them on any four strokes?

I've not really looked at the whole FCR situation and how it fits to the KLXs, but a simple flange manifold and a piece of radiator hose with the proper ID made a dandy manifold on my old Sherpa S. This has long been the method to fit spigot carbs in place of flange mount carbs on bikes. The manifold butts up against the carb and all is held by the hose and clamps. So make a longer intake manifold.





If the air boot can be worked with, this is a possibility moving the FCR, rearward. If I remember right, the FCR is shorter than the stock carb. If so, the lengthened manifold would be a distinct possibility with some turning of aluminum, some sawing to shape the flange and drilling to suit the bolt pattern. None of it is difficult or time consuming. It just takes a piece of billet aluminum or some flat stock, tubing and TIG work. This would also move the bolt head away from the starter. Who knows, might just eliminate the frame interference issue, too. Move the carb back with a longer manifold if it is possible.

Just some thoughts from past experience.

In the video, did the guy who did the carb on the KLX do much work to jet it or if that was just how it was to start with ball park jetting and setting?

Someone would have to try and contact the guy who did the video.. It sounded like he's got an off idle hesitation
