I have nearly an identical setup. Stock stroke, stock bore Alpha cub (Serval), 2-1 intake, 35 pwk carb at about 300ft elevation. I am running 195 main, 42 pilot, DEK needle on the middle clip, air screw 2 turns out. Mine seems to be pretty close. Bottom feels pretty crisp, but going to move the needle one clip up (leaner) to see if that clean up the 1/8th to 3/4.

Any update on this alpha cub build? I just got a set of alpha cub cylinders and am piecing the rest of the parts for the build. Really interested to see how this setup runs.

I have a 2/1 duner and have had no issues once i got it dialed in. the needle is crucial in a 2/1. its either a dek or eek needle. Cascasde seems to have the 2/1 (pretty sure they machined their manifolds to match vf3's) jetting setups pretty dialed. maybe give them a call. Yes, i finally got a seconds 35 pwk so i will be switching to 2 carbs, but i ran my 2/1 for about 4 seasons and had zero gripes. just going with a bigger motor next time....gotta buy this damn house before i can get back to the fun stuff.

I wouldnt agree with you on tune-a-bility, but its all what you get used to. The single does rob some top end. I rocked a single 35 pwk setup (on its last season) for a few seasons until i came across a deal on another single pwk 35. Now, when I do the next motor, i have duals waiting. rock your single setup while you save for another pwk 35 if money is an issue. you will see some improvement between the single 35 and the dual stockers. might not be much though. eek and eej are the types of needles. http://www.carbparts.com/keihin/needles_tuning/pj.htm. if you dont have the correct needle in it, it will be a bitch to tune.

I got my silencers from cascade in bare metal for a little cheaper. Might ask them about that option.

^^^^ I still think this is where you should start. probably gonna be rich anyways. then you can jet down.

They are decible approved.

I have a set. unported, on first bore. switched them out for a set of other cylinders i had. pm me if you are interested.

He is serioulsy trying to derail this thread. I never see him contributing to threads. Mostly telling people they are dumb and wrong. Im assuming he might tell me i'm wrong....And "clueless" for thinking that. I only ride dunes so im just following this thread for the good read. Always wanted a custom dune frame, But im not on that level yet. Would be cool to see this custom build make it to the finish line. GLWB.

Perfect Noob right here. ^^^ only took him 8 posts to get his bike running like a top. did all the necessary research and reading before posting the same questions veteran hq members have all answered millions of times and always complain about doing so....This could possibly be the golden noob. Good job man, glad you got your shee running right. now keep reading and get ready to mod.

just get a port job and reassemble. Not too spendy.

Thanks DDU, I have been thinking about these two scenarios quite a bit and i think im beginning to lean towards the stock cyl 4 mill....I can be persuaded the other way, but the trans mod AND porting AND 4 mill sounds like quite a change from my current setup. It will also depend on what type of port job my current cylinders are and if they still have some life left. If they are already ported pretty well i might decide to go the serval route. I only went on one ride this season so far and its just beginning. I didnt think i would tear my engine down this early in the season, but i think im gonna just do it and get this ball rolling. Im tired of paying for $10 a gallon race gas.

I appreciate the input a lot ddu. The 4 mill serval is not an option at this point and time. Its either gonna be a stock stroke serval (adding a 4 mill crank down the road and pro mod) or a 4 mill stock cyl with pro mod (adding serval cyls later)....Im just trying to identify all the pro's and con's for each scenario as well as any details i may have not considered....Please feed more info!!

are you running a single 35 or dual?

Both scenarios have their positives. Im really stoked to possibly get the trans mod i have read so much about. The mono block as well...What type of riding do you do?
