Figarolli for H2 are rather rare outside Italy.

Thanks for the response kawi3cyl

I've already read your link but do not help me, I'm looking for the complete setup to avoid making numerous tests

Of course husson73 they are Italian but Figaroli had created especially for the American market.
In Italy I find parts Mikuni main jet type but I can not find the needle jet and needle that are important for proper carburetion, I found the kit Ivanperformance but it is now available

well with expension chambers and standart carbs you can use the standart needle jet and jet needle (don't say you will have the standart set up but w or w/o expension chambers each bike needs its own set up). Ivan's kit is a solution works great.

Thank you husson73,

In fact I am waiting for the kit to Ivan, unfortunately, are back with deliveries, I hope to have it for September.
Unfortunately removing the carburetor I noticed that the needle jet are not all the same: I have a 171-O6 and two 222-O6!, the 171-06 are nowhere to be found.

needle jet is 220#0-2 (or 0-6 on KH 400) on s serie and KH 250, if yours have on 2 carbs 222#0-6, can't work on H2 which uses as you wrote 171#0-6 :shock:
Ivan kit is really good and plenty of frenchs who ride their H2 use them with very good result after the usal set up on the carbs (smooth engine, fuel consomption better and less or no more wobble). 8-)

I don't think the needles have been available for many years.
In the states we find them in old wasted triple carbs or use Ivan's kit.

Exactly the 171-O6/8 can not be found
The needle jet Ivan, I think, is a clone of the 171
In my research I noticed that for the new series offers Mikuni VM30 a needle jet 169-O6/8 with external measurements identical to the old 171, but internally I am not allowed to know.
I'm tempted, while I wait for ivan kit, try the 169 which is easily found in all sizes
