RippinShee Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Do i install them first, then the reeds, then the intakes? or the reeds, then the spacers, then the intakes? Quote
00tbanshee Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Do i install them first, then the reeds, then the intakes? or the reeds, then the spacers, then the intakes? you can do them either way.when i ran them yrs ago i put spacer,reeds then intake.heard of guys saying they do them,reeds,spacer then intake.worked fine for me the way i had them Quote
RippinShee Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Posted September 22, 2009 I have heard of them running spacers, reeds, and intakes. Supposedly Jeff at fast stated it lengthens the reed channel and will give more hp. This true? Quote
DallasGDub Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 I ran cyl,reed, spacer, intake, then carb. Used a gasket and sealer between each one. Just to be safe. I only did it to keep my PWK from hitting the clutch arm. Quote
RippinShee Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Posted September 22, 2009 Did you noticed a performance gain? Quote
DallasGDub Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Did you noticed a performance gain? Not seat of pants. But had a lot of mods already. Might make a differnce on a stocker. I just did it for function. Quote
RippinShee Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Posted September 22, 2009 How about seat of the pants when you went from stock carbs to big carbs? Quote
DallasGDub Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 They were only 28mm. Not a huge jump. When I first switch riding styles from lowend to mid/topend, I used stockers. From stock to 28mm carbs, performance was not a huge jump. But better throttle response, easier to tune, jet, and over all function was night and day difference. Very fluid like throttle after the upgrade. Quote
RippinShee Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Posted September 22, 2009 So you can run spacers before or after reeds? There is not a normal way to put them on? Quote
jbooker82 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 They should be installed betweent the reeds and cylinders. If they were supose to be installed between the intake and reeds then the would be called intake boot spacers. On the intake streem you want the sizes to go from smallest to large. If your carb boot is dumping in to a larg hole (reed spacer), then being necked back down in to the reed cage that is bad for flow.
