Bummer about the bolt on tops. that was my biggest bitch on the 28pwks. Shit goes so much faster when you need to do an impromptu needle adjustment/swap/carb overhaul on the screw on caps.

I like the screw on caps the best

[trickedcarbine]

Screw on is nice, but not as doofus proof as the bolt on caps though. With that said I've pulled the plug on any TM carbs that ever cross my path due to the obnoxious bolt on top.

packard uses a mnv-1kp so you can run a 5/32od dump tube. It comes 1/8 npt but it wont fit a lectron so they get turned down. Forget the size right now. If you could use the 1/8 pipe it would be easier. Just a thought.

Not all the carbs will have the powerjet hole drilled but they will all have a starting point for drilling.  We are using the bolt on cap for two reasons.  The larger carbs won't use a stock cap and the problem I see with the cap is the rubber compresses so much you really can not keep your slide height equal each time you remove the cap.  A gasket only compreses a couple thousand of an inch.  The biggest reason for the bolt on cap is so the powerjets have all the clearance they need.  Our powerjets will be  a little taller than others but will be the best option by far.

What's the smallest carb you can make out of the 35mm base carb?

And will it have the air stryker fins too?

[Chariot Performance]

We may go down to 29mm carbs but will have to see.  The air stryker fins are gonna be a bit different.  The drawing we have here is the base we started with and we have been  making changes/improvements from there.

When is the first set going to be ready

[Strm Trpr]

Keihin has the 28mm PWK's, then a large 5mm diameter jump up to 33mm PWK's.

 

Then there's the OKO 30mm Keihin Knock-Offs that I refuse to buy.

 

So something in the 30-31mm range would be sweet and I think it would fill a void in the aftermarket carb world that a lot of us "Play Bike" riders want/need...

 

Thoughts?

I want a set of those bowls with the big jet change hole for my 35mm PWKs.

Any progress?

[Chariot Performance]

Lot's of progress.   This is a big project and we are determined to do it right.  Very soon!

the bolt on tops are way better than the screw on  trust me.  your reasoning is dead on with the gasket issue..  plus the room to install the pj makes it even better.. 

 

a 30mm would be great for the "rider" guys.  i liked the 28mm bored to 30's a lot on my old trail bike.
