Carbs

[courville69]

I just bought a tors removal kit and tried doing it myself(I must be a dumbass) and i ended up messing up 2 carbs.The right side did just fine drilled and tapped it no problem the choke side carb i ended up snapping the tap inside of it(No problem my buddy gave me another one).Well i was using a drill the first time and thought maybe i put it in a bind and it snapped,the second one i did by hand and got the tap all the way through and coming out it crossed tapped it and now the hole is to big for the idle screw.So now i'm just gonna go aftermaret carbs,but need help with which ones to get.I plan on going with 4 mil cub set up maybe next year but not sure yet and i was looking at the 28mil carbs on ebay.Can anyone tell me what i should get that will work well on a mostly stock bike now but will also work on a cub set-up once i start building it.

dude get some Lectrons from packardracing. They'll be awsome with cubs, hell they'll work great for ya now.

 

Go to packardracing.com and ask dennis what size you should get. He'll set-up the carbs custom to your ridding style.

you could try to find a welder with a tig that is damn good and could weld the hole up and you could retap it.

 

it might work not saying it would. make sure he doesnt warp the carb body by welding it too hot.

Instead of buying new carbs, you could just fix the screwed up one. Get some magnum steel epoxy, and fill the hole. Let it dry, drill it back out, and re-tap it. It's a cheap fix, and can get you by, until you decide to go with bigger carbs. There are a lot of different epoxy's out there, that will work, but you need to be sure and get one that can be drilled, machined, etc.
