2 carbs or 1?

[2boxersallen]

99 banshee cool head with 21 cc domes, toomey t-5 pipes, +5 timing on plate Unported with stock bore. soon to have a dune\ trail port so upgradings carbs will be mandatory.

 

also i was going to get vforce 3 reeds, should i get there cages? or modify the stock cages and use a spacers?

 

i appreciate the insight. and cheers to a great sight!!

What are you really asking? Are you asking if you should upgrade to bigger dual carbs or a bigger single carb? I would get boysesen reeds and mod the stock cages. I run the stock carbs on my ported bike just fine. But will soon be upgrading to 30mm carbs when time comes. But mostly the stock dual will work just fine. And are you wanting Jetting?

sorry i'll try to clear it up

 

im looking to see if there is a advantage (performance wise) going to a big single carb or sticking to the twin carbs ( wether modified stock or bigger twins)

 

i know single will be less maintnance and easier to tune.

 

i just bought this one (the 99) and its defintly in need of being tuned.

 

my mainly stock 02 (timing plate, minor carb work, and open air filte)r is almost as fast as this one.

 

the 99 just seems to flatten out up top in the prm range. the compression is 120 per cyl so i know its not tired.

im assuming the boysen's work better with the modded cages vs the v force 3's with there cage?

 

do you run a spacer with your cages?

2 carbs.

Only real advantage to a single carb is easier tuning and cleans up clutter on the quads motor,Both my banshee have single carbs and i swear by them,but a lot of people disagree

I ran a single carb setup for a little while. it was a 35mm air stryker and trinity intake. it was deffinatly alot easier to jet since it was one carb, and didnt have to worry about sync'ing the carbs either. the thumb throttle was alot easier too. only bad parts were it took away from the topend power some, and you had to be carefull of long, WOT runs cause if would feel like it was running out fuel after too long.

2 carbs any day, for any kind of riding.

I agree with fire... If u have the dual carbs sycned right, there will always be great low end if u have them tuned in right. Sycning carbs takes about maybe 3mins once u get it down. The only nice thing I see that the single carb has would be easier to jet like said above. Ask all the racers and builders. Most all of them will go with dual carbs. I say if u got it then run it. But I wouldn't trade my duals for a single.

Most people go with the v-force 3's setup

I just ported my stock cages and put some Boyesen Power reeds, put my money into suspension over the V-3s
