dajogejr Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Couple of things.... What temps and elevation do you ride at? I'd almost bet you're wasting your money on 110 race gas when all you might need is premium pump gas... Depends on your compression....but, I think you can save money...to be honest. Has it been bored before? If not...you're wasting two good bores, doesn't matter how good that .040 deal is, you're missing on .020 and .030....longer lives ya know. Lastly, what TYPE of riding do you do? If you trail ride and occasionally dune and drag, I agree, a single 35PWK will do you nicely and ease maintenance, tuning.... But, if you're more duning and drag racing, you'll want a pair of 33s or 35's.... You say case match the porting...but, is he porting the cylinders as well? If not, case match is kinda a waste too. You'll get 1-3HP by case matching, you can get 10, 20 or 30 out of a good port job. Just trying to cover all the bases.... :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djackbanshee Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 match porting ? Id leave stock carbs or single carb setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 match porting ? That's where they machine or grind the upper half of the cases to match air/fuel flow into the transfer ports on the cylinders. From the factory they don't normally match. Just another little builder trick... I matched my own cases with a big bore base gasket as a stencil (68mm bore cub), and a dremel tool...doesn't take long at all, but, kinda pointless if the cylinders themselves aren't matched.

BansheeDan Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 what he calls match porting is lightly porting the cyllinders....like he knife edges the intakes...where its like a flat block behind the carbs.....i live in michigan and the riding i do is mostly pleasure riding.....but i do also run 1/4 mile flat track......im not sue of the elevation here..... i got the .040 piston kit for a lil over 100.00 so thats why i bought it....couldnt touch one local for less then 195.00 and with the +4 timing i was told i have to run race gas to prevent detonation....... thanx for the input guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Ok...got it. That's basically a cleanup port...or real real mild port job. Check your compression...you're in MI with me...I'd bet you don't have to run race gas with that setup. Compression has more to do with the need for race gas than a slight timing advance such as that. A complete kit from Magic Racing (In MI too) is only 160...and that includes gaskets, wrist pins, bearings, etc...everything. Gotta do what ya gotta do, got it. I'd bet you could save money on race/pump gas as long as your compression is much over 145 to 150 lbs, IF your bike is jetted correctly!

odaen Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 stick with your stock carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 stick with your stock carbs i agree. stock carbs will be more than enough for a mildly ported motor. in fact ive heard stock carbs outflow a stock motor, so it should be about right on a mildly ported one. i see no need to switch carbs now. save your money and wait until youre ready to build a big motor.
