Description

Wildcat 486INT Curved Intake Manifold – Fits VM22 26mm Slide Carburetors for Honda & Clone Engines.


The Wildcat 486INT Curved Intake Manifold is specifically designed to adapt the Wildcat WC22 and other Chikuni-style VM22 26mm slide carburetors to popular Honda GX200, Clone 196cc, and similar small block engines. This curved intake was developed in response to high demand from mini bike and go-kart builders who needed better carburetor clearance and protection.


Unlike straight intakes, the 486INT curves the carburetor rearward toward the engine, helping to:

  • Clear starter recoil mechanisms
  • Reduce exposure to debris, obstacles, or impact
  • Prevent damage when bikes are laid down or trail-ridden
  • Tuck the carburetor in for a more compact and protected installation

This version is engineered for angled engine mounts, keeping the carburetor level for optimal fuel flow and throttle response. If you're using a flat-mounted engine, check out the compatible 486INT version.


Carburetors Compatible with the 486INT Intake:

  • WC22 Wildcat 26mm Slide Carb
  • Tillotson FM22 26mm
  • Walbro PZ26 (World Formula)
  • Chikuni-style "VM22" 26mm Chinese Carburetors
  • Keihin / Nibbi 24–26mm PE Slide Carburetors

Note: This intake is designed to fit the common 26mm Chinese VM22 clone carbs (Chikuni), not the smaller genuine Mikuni VM22 (22mm).


Technical Specs:

  • Carb Flange Mounting Bolt Spacing: 1.875", offset from bore centerline
  • Cylinder Head Mount Bolt Spacing: ~43mm
  • Fits: Small Block engines such as Predator 212 (Non-Hemi), Wildcat, Tillotson, Ducar, Ghost, and Honda Clone-style engines
  • Includes: Intake mounting hardware, pulse fitting, and intake gasket


Ideal For:

  • Mini bikes and go-karts with angle-mounted engines
  • Builders need better starter clearance and carburetor protection
  • Applications using 26mm slide carbs on small-block Honda clone platforms


Upgrade your intake setup with the Wildcat 486INT – engineered for performance, protection, and perfect fitment with 26mm Chikuni-style carbs.
