Carbs

[jonesy116]

Trinity Racing makes a CV Carb Kit, where there is only 1 carb. What is the pro's and con's for this product, is it a good idea to invest in or?

Thanks

having one carb means your air and fuel is going to have to fight its way through a y and in doing that one jug may get more then the other leading to a burn down all kinds of cons the only pro i see to that set up is you only have to tune one carb

This has been covered ALOT, if you search youll probably find a TON of info.

 

Basically it is easier to tune and will give you a little more low end, but youll lose a bit of the top/mid. Usually you see them on trail bikes. I ran one and didnt like it. I am back to a dual setup again. I think it's a big preference just like most other stuff on shees, some people are going to like them and some wont.

I'm not so sure about that.

 

From a reliability/durability standpoint both the dual carbs and the single carb are going to be the same. That is why a single carb is bigger, so you can get more fuel into the bike. Typically you see either 33mm or 35mm single carbs. Whereas stockers are 2-26 mm carbs. Assuming the install has been performed correctly, the carbs/carb are tuned correctly both should be just as good for the engine.

Well, be assured that what this guy said is wrong at the least.

 

 

If you do a search there is all sorts of info on here, even some dyno results.
