Dunatic619 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) I need new carbs NOW. I was using a trinity 2 to 1, I know I know, but I'm over it now. I was planning to throw my stockers back on, but I can't find them. So I was planning on buying new. I'd like to throw some 28s on the shee. I plan to do a 4mil in the future but I also plan on keeping the boring down to a minimum. So I figure 28s will be fine. I'm lost when it comes to picking a specific brand. It seems the keihin might be a little easier in the long run, but mikuni is easier on my wallet now. I see that with mikuni, that I will need to change some things to get them to run right. I tried to search on the site, but was unable to locate anything particularly helpful. I did find a thread where someone listed the type of jets/needle to use, but I wanted to list my mods and elevation and get some specific recommendations. My shee is a 97 and usually ride glamis and trails. Never more that 1000' ASL One over stock bore (true 350 now) Dune port VF3 +4 timing 19cc domes FMF fatties Any help would be great. I also like doing my own research, so if someone wants to post links, I don't mind reading. Thanks again everyone. Edited February 23, 2015 by Dunatic619 Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Go pwk for sure size is up to you Quote
gusto Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 I have a 4mil stock cylinder and run stock mikuni and plan on getting billet bowls pretty soon. Could you guys tell me why pwk is better? With exception to jetting change what makes them better? Quote
Dunatic619 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks everyone for the responses. But I'm wondering this too ^^ Would the PWKs be ready to run out of the box? Besides jetting anyway. Would the mikunis be able to do this too? I read that the needle, nozzles, and slide cutouts in the mikunis need to be changes out. Quote
MacRacer1 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Well going from a stock carb to a bigger carb is obviously going to wield hp gains. Just depends what your builder likes or personal preference. But a 28mm pwk will make good gains over stock Quote
Dunatic619 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Posted February 23, 2015 ^^^ PWKs? Where the best place to get em from? I seen cascade has them for $319/pair. Anyplace less expensive? Quote
Nightmare Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 ^^^ PWKs? Where the best place to get em from? I seen cascade has them for $319/pair. Anyplace less expensive? Call Fast racing, I think mine were $305 shipped or some shit. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 28 PWK's. Why? Because they are on many many set ups very similar to yours where people have already done all the figuring out and testing. That makes initial tune up much closer. Order them From someone who is capable of setting them up. Quote
gusto Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Tricked, any HP gains on my 4mil going from stock to 28 pwk? And, how about staying in tune (elevation change), are PWK equal to mikuni? Quote
MacRacer1 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Yes you will see gains. My 4 mil stock cylinder on 28's ran really start. I ran with 4 & 7 mil Cubs... I'm a small guy but still. 1 Quote

And, how about staying in tune (elevation change), are PWK equal to mikuni? Few hp over that 2-1. But way more ridability. The PWKs IMO are a bit less sensitive then their predecessor PJ carbs which means less tuning when changing temp, alt, and weather are a factor. Quote
gusto Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks for the input, I have been wrestling with the idea of changing my stocks out. Last question, whats everyones thoughts on OKOs? Quote
