250-500cc Question about using Mikuni TMX on 2000 360

Has anyone used a TMX on a 250/360 from the 90s -2002ish? Because the carb bowl hits the engine cases (interference) I have to position it a bit tilted, which seems to be causing some fuel draining out the overflow tubes.
Does anyone know if I just need to adjust the float level a bit lower, or is this carb just not suitable for this bike?
Thanks!

mine has a TM not TMX
don't know if they are different dimensions, but,,, mine does touch the case, barely

i ran my 95 with the stock tm for awhile before switching to lectron..i tilted it slightly and never had an issue. maybe verify your float height is correct?

The TM's and Lectrons will touch the cases too. I'm thinking it must be the float height, or I've read that many of the newer TMX carbs have a bad metering block gasket, which could be part of the problem. The carb doesn't leak when the bike is standing upright. Only when leaned on the side stand.

I just needed to change the float height to spec and replace the jet block seal to make the TMX work. There are some good videos out there on how to set these up on the modern KTMs and Huskys. No overflow now.

I replaced my intake rubber boot (between carb and reeds)
Because mine was dry/cracked. I got the one made by Hot Foot Moto and my carb float bowl is now
3/16" or so up off the engine case...no more rubbing or messing with the carb in the boot to keep it from rubbing. Im still rocking the original early style tmx that came on my 1994 wxc250. . . Maybe this will help someone
