[freakboy]

HAHA

I could make fun of you for that one, but i wont.

I worked on a twin today too, 440 2 stroke piston port/single carb. Pretty low performance but she dont weigh much and puts out around 50hp. Once i get some fuel line, gas and a rope to use as a recoil i can see if she'll start, shes got killer compression and good spark so i dont see y it wouldnt.

 

[Rotore]

Single carb?

[Kaptain Krunch]

Single carb?

Yup, shes got a single 34 or 36 mikuni roundslide, i got a pair of 30mm roundslides that i plan on hooking up to it, but one of them has a frozen in idle jet which i cant get out. theres some pics of it here http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6452

 

[Rotore]

Oh I thought they all came with twin carbs

 

[jr dragster T]

My twin cyl 440 has dual carbs. Quite a few of those old sleds where single carb.

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Its all about what the sled was designed for, this was a fuel friendly trail sled.

I was working on my neighbors yamaha ovation 340 for him, and it was the first time i'd ever looked closely at a yamaha. Those things are pretty well designed, they have a nice duel barrel carb and everything is just fit in there perfectly.

 

[jr dragster T]

Nothing like a nice twin!

 

[Rotore]

Quick question on cv carbs. Why am I advised to not mess with them?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Maybe its just me, but i've had bad luck. i wouldnt use one unless i had to. Plus those diaphragms aint cheap.

 

[Rotore]

I can understand the not cheap part I just wanted to know I don't think I can seperate them anyway

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

From what i hear there a lot harder to tune also. May just be hearsay though.
