A stock 400ex carb should be dang near a perfect fit.

i ran a 400ex carb on mine,you might want to get a 300ex carb boot though,fitting the 400ex one on the 350x is a PAIN,it will go on though;)

thanks guys for the advice.i'll check into a 400ex carb!i was also told a 450r stock carb will work.does anyone know if thats true?

you would have to get an adaptor or something to reduce the carbs O.D to fit.otherwise theres no way your gonna get it to go.a 400ex carb is a challenge in itself:)

Actually, the 350x boot should fit up a better than the 300ex boot. That's why people swap the 300ex boot witha 350x boot when they put a 400ex carb on the 300ex. ;)

use a 300ex manifold(head to carb) on the 350x which has a bigger spigot opening than the 350x one and will take the 400ex carb. then run a 350x or 400ex airboot(carb to airbox), i wouldn't run the 300ex airboot its too restrictive on a bigger motor. if you use the 350x airboot you'll have to stretch it to get it to fit. you can boil it in water or use a heat gun and then jam it on. or a small poland springs water bottle bottom is about the same size and works good for shaping it.

exactly,i have them both and the 300ex flange is bigger.go figure
