BlownCorona Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 ^ do the stock them quite often? cause thats a damn tidy price Edit: whats the smallest size bike you should be looking at for a 2000cc engine? i see alot of 700cc bike carbs but im pretty sure they will be a little small. r1s sounds like the go tbh..

peteretep Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 we have just done rot808's for what I think is around $450 excluding time I think the guys with 2 litres generally go for r1 carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch.W Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 are 38mm carbs big enough for a 1300? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbi ... 145668.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R100 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I put bike carbs on my old hillman imp. Had to run a header tank above the carbs to gravity feed them with a return line to the main tank. Sounded nice at max revs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatt20 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 are 38mm carbs big enough for a 1300? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbi ... 145668.htm plenty big enuf, i had 38mm cbr900 carbs on a 5k , could go as small as 28mm on a 1300 without restricting it . trouble with going too big on the carb size is making the manifold taper/bend/flow well from 40 odd mm down to the much smaller port dia (on k motors anyway) ya dont want to ream the ports out too much to tey match them as velocity/low end will suffer.

BlownCorona Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 is a header tank required for all bike carbs or just some? i always thought you just ran the factory fuel pump and an fuel pressure regulator if need be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 just use a fuel pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 ^ standard carby car fuel pump, bike fuel pump(exist?) or electric fuel pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 a standard mechanical pump should be fine I think for most situations, rot808's car is using the standard pump and appears to be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatt20 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 depends on the carbs, the cbr900 ones were brand spankers and they leaked with the factory pump, and a facet. i ended up using a factory motorbike electric inline one and it worked mint.
