This thread is created to help all the old sleds out there stay running original as possible with the infamous original tilly carbs!

I like the tilly carbs once rebuilt and tuned you cant find a smoother carb !

which carb is better ect Mikuni VS Tillys!

QuiCK NOTEs

Most sledtilly carbs setttings are

LOW SPEED 1- 1-1/2 turns out from gently seated
HIGH Speed if adjustable 1-1/8 from gently seated

Then tune from there after motor is warm let carb respond only turn 1/8 th of a turn
and wait for about a min or so ..To see if response changed...

Note*some high speed needles are not adjustable some are just a brass nut cap

I heard that the Winderosa carb kits for the HR and HL tilly carbs are not very good is this true or not?
I see the rebuild kits at my local crappy tire..Was going to buy one but then decided not to after reading a few folks bought some and were very poor quality.
i think the diaphrams in the Winderosa kits look as old and as dried up as the ones in my carb!
Anyone else feeel the same way?
