Beaver

cheers guys. at the moment the deal has fallen through...which sucks....but thanks for the offers

sweet, will keep in touch...

haha yeh cant wait to chuck them on. they in auckland so i gota sort out a time to go get them....

the dude said hes going camping that weekend...haha but cheers tho

sweet man, ill keep in touch and let you know

haha buy me a new engine and i will

just snapped a pair of weber DCOEs 40s, and the manifold for the cast head, plus a mint head with double valve springs. going to get a mild port done on the head, and maybe a cam regrind

hey all. Just brought a head and some carbs, and they are in auckland and im in hamiltron, was just wondering if anyone is heading from auckland to/via hamilton this weekend or sometime next week? the stuff is right near westgate shopping centre. will provide beverages/petrol money for your troubles. Not a certain yet, need to sort out a few things....but yeh..anyone heading this way? chur chur

twin weber 40s....maincol for cast iron head....mint cast iron head with double valve springs.... $600 stoked

haha yeh that would be good to know.....ah well.

bit of an update....the guy can also provide me with a set of double valve springs which both he and others have recomended ( i think he knows his stuff). im trying to haggle him down to 550 for the carbs, mani and springs, am waiting for his answer. ive also tracked down a spare head for 100 bucks...a bit steep i think but tis the only one ive found so far. with probably either get slipsittin or nismo_capri to do a bit of work on it for me, depending on when/if i get the head. so im still trying to decide to take the plung haha. ive put my bike and my spare digital camera on trade me, so my theory is that if i buy the carbs and head now, hopefully my bike and camera will sell (as the both close after the carbs etc), and ill be happy as larry. i really really want to...but i dont have much money at the mo, and uni starts in under two months.....grrrr i hate being a poor student

ill try track one down, that would be greatly appreciated. you wouldnt happen to know someone with on would you? cheers

i knew someone would come along and say this eventually haha but yeh i see where your coming from. but itd be cool tho ive got a spare diff to so if it all turns to shit then ill just put it back to normal lol. but i dont think new carbs and exhaust will lead to toooo much issues. im in hamilton for the summer actually but the car is down in chch

downhill/freeride mountain bike

anyone want to buy a bike then? lol

well my mountain bikes up for sale so if that sells ill buy them haha. what should i expect to be paying for a pair of good condition, correctly jetted, complete with all linkages 40 DCOE webers? they guy wants 550 including the manifold for the cast iron head (which is dam hard to find). is that a fair price? or should i just grab the manifold while i can and then keep an eye out for a cheaper pair (he wants 100 for the manifold)? its that fact that they are actulay set up for the hunter engine which attracts me to it, so they are prety much bolt on.

haha i love that statement

ah well im always up for a challenge haha

i love it when threads explode like this haha whoe knew a hunter would be such a good discusion topic. nah but seriuosly thanks for all the advice. i think if he drops the price a bit ill go for it, and do the exhaust as well, although i think id have to get custom extracters because as HUNTD said, go fast bits for cast iron heads are bloody hard to find. and the exhaust man told me that its getting prety weak at one point where it used to swing around a bit, so ive got an excuse to replace it haha. keen for in front of rear wheel exit.......

how much munies would i be looking at for a simple port/polish?

Unless there jetted for a 1725 or similar. Yuh. shouldve really mentioned that. yeh they are straight of a hunter 1725cc engine and are jetted correctly etc..

cheers for that man. yeh i see your point. ill keep an eye on them and ill see how it goes. itd be awesome to have a hunter that surprises a few people when they see my tail lights trailing into the distance......... haha one day

its the cast iron head, so intake manifolds are fuckin hard to find. it needs a bloody good tune actually, so maybe i should start from there. i spose it would only really be worth it if i was going to go to whole 9 yards which to be honest i dont think i will unless i win lotto haha

hey all. thinking about putting a pair of weber 40s on my hunter (there are some on trademe), and at the moment the engine is completely stock (1725cc, single stromburg side draught). can i expect any half decent gains in terms of power? or would i need to work on other areas of the engine to make a difference? ie exhaust etc. i understand that its not going to turn it into a rocket ship, but yeh, just wondering if its worth it? or would i just be wasting my money. cheers

sup man, carl showed me a pic of urs the other day, looks fukn tidy. mines got a cast head so its slow and no one makes twin carm manis for them lol. fuk $216? look on trademe im sure i saw one the other day for way less. ive got 3inch blocks in the back lol and yeh compressed 60mm in the front. theres a guy on trademe who was/is selling a set of twin carbs+manifold for an alloy head. they not on there at the mo but ive got his email address somewhere cause i brought some shit off him a wile ago. ill dig it out and pm it to u. he was looking for $120 last time they were up.
