Yeah, the carb is a knock off of the keihins. Sometimes the keihin needles work in different spots over the oko stuff.

You must use punctuation and smilies so we know if your serious or not. :biggrin:

A stock stator with a dc conversion wont run those unless you add a battery as well. Stock stator is 100 watts. The MR16 trail techs in a set would draw 14 amps on startup, and pull 5.8 amps at running temperature.

Bad ass banshees for sand dunes dont use single carbs.

165 mains, 52 pilot jet, JJH Needle in 2nd from top clip position.

I do not know what you are trying to say, you are a horrible speller.

38mm pwk is too big for that motor, and way too big for that pipe. I would use a 35mm pwk. That 2 into 1 pipe is probably really choking that motor, that thing would make a lot more low end power with a set of pt mids, fmf gnarleys, or pro circuits on it. Also dropping the exhaust port down and cleaning everything else up will help a bunch. If your gonna make an intake for this, the straighter the shot in from the carb, and the shorter the runners, the better. Both sides need to be an exact match and they need to be symmetrical with each other.

what pipes?

Whats done to the bike its going on? Have you loked at pics of the existing 2 into 1 setups on the market?

I used to run them after my dad shattered his ankle. I quit using them when I made some custom double pegs about 4 years ago.

I have had them on bikes, and just took them off after we got it running right. If we go somewhere else thats a different elevation, or change something on the bike, then we just put it back on. The bikes I ran them on had fittings welded into the pipes, then when I took it out, I just put a threaded plug in the fitting. The probe placement is crucial, but if you get it 6" from the piston, or at least as close to 6" as you can, then it should work ok.

Its a TM. You have to make sure they have the correct slide cutout, needles, pilots, needle/seat, siphon tube, and your gonna have to get the mains close of course.

I run 22x11x8 tires, those tires you have probably weigh alot more than mine do. I only run super lite Haulers. I dont ever buy molded tires, they tend not to do real well.

the pro circuits will not compensate for a bottom end loss. Your intake velocity will be reduced, which will reduce the amount of bottom end the motor makes. The biggest thing is, you usually use a bigger carb, the higher the motor revs. If your redline remains low, like 9,000 rpm (pro circuits), then your motor will not fully utilize a big set of carbs. So not only have you reduce the low end power, you have not fully utilized the carb to its full potential. He stated he was going to change the pipes, so that will warrant the use of bigger carbs. However, the power curve a set of cpi pipes makes is ALOT different than the pro circuits. So be prepared for that. Which mikuni carbs? Flatslides, rounds? TM, VM, TMX? I run a set of Mikuni TM 28mm carbs, but I also like the Lectrons.

if your going to continue to run those pipes I would go with the 28mm carbs. Redline on those pipes is not up where you could fully utilize a carb much bigger than that.

Silicone spray on the inside and outside of the interior hose piece.

The ones in my sig pic are ceramic coated by performance coatings.

The pro circuit is a low-mid pipe. I say roll with the T5 if you have to use one of the pipes you are talking about. Personally I wouldn't run any of those pipes for a mid-top setup though.

did you kick it over a bunch of times with the throttle wide open, and the engine warmed up?

Make the line shorter so it gets pulled over towards the carbs. Or take the heat gun, bend it, heat it up, then cool it down. It will stay bent after it cools.

Halogens can be ran on 12v ac or dc.

Firehead, I just noticed your avatar. Looks like the beach at Sand Lakes if I am not mistaken?

Everybody has them. I can name quite a few places, but cascade has em at a good price and they have excellent customer service.

If you have a moved up exhaust port and a cut piston crown, that is going to greatly increase exhaust duration. These pipes your running dont like high exhaust ports. They are a low-mid pipe, and it sounds like your exhaust port is setup for mid-top power.

I got my paddles at Cascade innovations.
