This may help Mikuni VM Carburetor Tuning Manual

These can be a bear to tune correctly and many never get it right.
You already have the Mikuni's so it's a little late for recommendations, but I would have opted for the JRC carbs or the new Amal Premier carbs.
Good luck with the Mikunis.

Rocky is spot on. I will add that when you get them right, they are great.

Yes, that's the saving grace with these carbs. If you can get them right they're great
But they can be very frustrating to get right.
Once again, good luck.

The link Dave posted is probably the best guide available.

Also, the SUDCO website is a source.

I have Mikunis on my'78, but I bought it that way and it was running, so I haven't had to mess with them much.

If you bought them new and for your bike, they ought to have been preset for your bike. If that's the case then the seller should help you get them running
