David Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 i dont know where i could possibly get a twin choke cable?? any ideas? As Tortron said. There is plenty of Japa 2-stroke motorbikes that have a single throttle cable with a joiner half way down to spit the cable into twins. One throttle normaly activates the carby and the other to activate the crank case oiler. Even a Motor bike wrecker may be worth a try.

Raizer Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Since its only a choke cable you could use a splitter from a Gyro off a BMX, you can fit whatever cable lengths you want to them and there cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 its about $30 to get pretty much anything you want made- with outer case made up so talk them down from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 sweeet.. and I dunno where to get twin air filters to fit strombergs? i was gonna just buy 2 pieces of flat plastic (hardened), and buy 2 pod filter adaptors for any random car, on the adaptors, dril a hole in each corner, same with the flat piece so the holes align, and on the flat piece drill out all the holes on the inlet, secure the flat piece to each carb, and get 4 nuts and bolts to secure the adaptor to the flat plastic with the 4 holes, then put on a dop filter on each, or get a t piece and some 3" piping and make both filters run from the same filter. would that do the trick??

tortron Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 1950's tuning for performance manual recomends 1 sheet of aluminium 2xflatpanel/those circular ones air filters another sheet of aluminum bolts, washers and wingnuts hole saw and drill combine all of the above for custom carb aplications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 3. Build a filter unit to suit the car. The simplest and very effective design is to sandwich a paper filter element between two metal plates. One plate is drilled with the appropriate size of air inlet hole and, if necessary bolt holes for flange mounting. The second plate is simply drilled with the hole for the existing centre air filter bolt or to take long bolts from the carb flange. Whatever arrangement is practical, ensure that there are no leaks between the filter and the carb intake and avoid sharp turns in the air path. The edges of the flanges and plates should be blunted or even better, radiused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0ss4yy Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 i was thinking about using gyro cable from a bmx? and just solder part of my original one on to the end so its long enough to reach to the back of the choke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
