eke_zetec_RWD Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 usually the same angle as the bottom fuel bowl flange if that makes sence. just check the float levels open and closed and figre it owt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I think its mostly so they take up less height The carbs on a bike will probably sit differently to a car because with a bike its made so that when the bike acclerates, the fuel is pushed backwards so it will sit in the bowls properly but with a rwd car the fuel will move sideways in relation to the bowl, so just aim to get the bowl flat CVK just means that its a constant velocity or constant vacuum carb, and the k is something kawasaki added I believe, where the other type of motorbike carb is the slide type, do some googling and you'll find out their differences In the pic you can see the bowls sitting relatively flat compared to the runners, yours will probably be very similar, chuck up a picture or something and im sure we'll figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vvega Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 bikes are downdraft....believe it or not gravity helps ...and it allows them to keep a straight run to the head...every turn reduces effective resonance so reduces tuning potential theres a few more reasons CVK = constand velocity Klein carb...as has been pointed out but the man with the very blue motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eke_zetec_RWD Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 when you lean over the vector of the bikes weight will be going at the tyres at the angle of the bikes lean. give or take. so the fuel will still be sitting in the bowl about the same as it would in a bike if it was stationary.

Brock-Lee Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yuh just out of interest what does one pay for a set of bike carbs? I reackon my ute would be a perfect candidate for a set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vvega Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 The fuel bowl seems to sit pretty much horizontal... so I would pretty much have to run them like a set of side draughts? Or possibly have the runners turn 180 degrees and run like the 4K-E EFI setup?Here are the pics as requested, sorry for the crappyness. ] man them some olllld carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 depends the age really, if you wanna keep your whole ride oldschool then you can buy a whole bike for a few hundy and then as you get newer, it becomes more expensive, where mine (year 2000 carbs) cost circa 300, and then theres the later model stuff which has become electronic injection which im led to believe isnt that hard to do if you know what your doing plus you need custom manifold and to modify the carbs slightly to suit your motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock-Lee Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Sweet. 300ish is a sweet as price. cheaper than twin sidedraughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 yeah I thought so, i saw a pair of 40's on trademe last week at $900... no manifold or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 with that massive thing, if you were gonna get the whole thing made, it would probably cost quite alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock-Lee Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Can you not run them in a side draught type setup. like manifold just comes straight from port to carb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
