EscortRyder Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hey guys, I purchased an 1300 xflow engine off trademe a little while back that was "hotted up"I stripped it, cleaned everything made sure the rings, bearings were ok etc.. then reassembled and installed new gaskets.This is the work that has been done to it.Head: Ported and polished, oversized valves (same size as 3L essex I believe), double valve springs.Block: 25thou oversized pistons, lightened flywheel and rods. Kent 244 cam.I'm currently running the standard 1300 single barrel carb of my original 1300 just so I could drive it down from Tauranga to Blenheim. It's very gutless with the single barrel carb, so I would just like to get an idea of what would be an ideal carb to run on my setup? I was told it was running twin 40 DCOE's by the previous owner and it went well, but thats a bit out of my budget. So I was thinking just a 32/36 twin choke carb would do the trick. Any help or tips on which carb setup I should use would be much appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscortRyder Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I forgot to mention, I'm running coby 4-1 extractors with 2" pipe and two 2" coby resonators.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusherman Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Id say a twin choke webber like you mentioned. If you could find 1 of a 2l motor surely would be capable of dumping enough fuel for a 1300. Occasionally sideys show up on tardsme cheap Could go single side draught or down draught webber/dellorto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Bike carbs would be cheaper than DCOEs. (I think) Depending how much of the setup you can fab yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If you were as cheap as possible, it would cost around $300 for bike carbs a 32/36 is probably the cheapest option but with the least power gain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscortRyder Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Alright cool, i'll use a 32/36 for now as I'm wanting to travel down to Dunedin in a few weeks.. but after that I'll invest in some bike carbs. Do you think the 1300 would be alright on the standard 2L jetting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benno Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 No, with the 2L jets it will run really rich. I tried a 32/36 carb on my 1300 that was jetted for a 1600 and it ran rich to the point that it was dumping fuel into the oil, no doubt a 2L jetted carb would be even worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 ring up weber specialties and tell him what you are doing, he should be able to get you the right jets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
