Hi, I have managed to get a 10W carb. One snag- it didn’t come with a throttle-slide or the cap. Are the slides from the restricted carbs different sizes/lengths? The first photo shows full throttle. So when you screw the cap on, it pushes the throttle-slide down. So you can’t gain full throttle.  When I fitted the carb with a MK2 throttle side/cap it wouldn’t fully open so, either the trottle slide is different, or the cap depth? Any ideas-Can anyone measure a slide from a 1OW? Does anyone have a spare 10w cap?  |

I should be able do some measurements for you tomorrow if I can get to my carbs.
I have 10w, 12a and 11w carbs and my 125LC flies just the same with any of them fitted jetted correctly.

Ok,
Measured (with verniers) 2 slides from 2 different 10W carbs and they both measure 41.29mm at the max point and 39mm at the rear cut-out point.
With no cables to interfere, but the slide fitted to the carb with spring etc. and the top screwed on tight, the slide can be pushed up, so that the rear cut-out can be pushed up and beyond the carb opening.
Are you sure nothing is interfering with the slide (cable etc.) ?.

$700   I don't have any experience with the later carbs, just those fitted to the Mk1 as standard. I have lot's of spares here, when I get a minute I will have a look in the shed, I think I have a bucket full of carbs and parts in there somewhere lol. I'll have a look at some caps, see if I can see any differences. |

OK, had a look at a few more carbs. The 10W and 12A caps are the same but I only have one 1GU carb body but no top for it  , so I can't compare the caps. Like you say, I can see the 1GU body is deffo taller at the slide area. |

Like you say, I can see the 1GU body is deffo taller at the slide area. ... and that's why the 1gu has the shallow cap. I'm convinced that's the difference. I've ran the 10w carb, and it wont rev out, not surprised, as the 1gu cap wont allow the slide to fully open. I'll get a picture of my carb top at the weekend. Thanks for your time  |

Is it worth you putting up a picture of the underneath of the cap to compare it to the caps I have ?.
