bansheeMD Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 Just got the 33mm Trinity CV single carb kit. After the first ride my impressions were just average. It didnt have that quick response and snap I expected. It also idled very low. I adjusted the idle screw and air screw to no avail. Maybe my expectations were too high, maybe I need different jets. Any info and advice would be greatly appreciated. Heres what I got: 96 shee boysen reeds FMF pipes and silencers K&N w/ outerwears No lid on the airbox 33mm Trinity single carb 52 Pilot 180 Main Please Help Quote

I'd put it in the 4th clip down from the top/blunt end. Also, that pilot is probably a little rich. I agree that you might not have it dialed in yet. The needle can make a difference also, especially on the single carbs. Quote
big_block_banshee Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 guys i got a question, cdan anyoen explain how putting one 33 or 35 carb on intead of two 33 or 35 carbs gives u more power. i know it must work cuz so many of u run them but i guess im just not open minded enough to understand how it could help. i know im prolly asking a dumb question but any help will be apprecciated .this has been puzzling me for quite some time. thanks in advance.

sredish Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 well, let me see if I can explain this. the cylinders fire at 180 degrees, so... the left will fire, then the right will fire, then the left... if you have dual carbs, air is being pulled through one carb for an instant, then the other for an instant. both carbs are not pulling air at the exact same moment. a single carb is pulling a constant flow of air through the carb, however it doesn't feed both cylinders at the same moment, due to them firing at opposite intervals, therefore supplying a blast of air on demand. Don't know if that is a perfect explanation, but that should give you the jist. Quote
evil Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 just take our word for it if your not happy with it then theres something wrong. dont give up yet cause once you get it dialed in youll love it. i hated all 3 of mine, even after i had the first one dialed in, then i got them dialed in and love it. its kind of a love hate thing. i wish trinity could jet them dead on and you just bolt on and go, but we all know thats not how it works. mess with it, good experience !
