MOTM - Nov '18, Mar '17
completed a REFURB of a set of BSDT38 Mikuni's off a Ducati 900SS/FE today, basically returning them back to stock spec.
Findings included: 150 mains (replaced with OEM supplied 140)
pilot screws backed out 5 (!) turns, returned to 3 1/2 (more normal starting point for Ducati spec)

As current owner is replacing airbox top with a stock unit, he found a basically removed (drilled/modded) cover upon purchase, the PO in an obvious search for "more fuel/more air".

Standard for these Mikunis, I found ovaled emulsion tubes (replaced with new). This condition is known to cause uncontrollable rich running.
