i was looking for some names of carbs that people run on a singel carb.

Is that the best price for NEW that could be found? Is Trinity the only ones that sells their kit? I want the kit but trying to find the best price right now.

 

cascade sells one too....that's about the going rate for a new setup. if you watch ebay you can get one for around 300 to 350, maybe less if you're lucky.

 

my carb is a pwk 35mm...which i think is about the norm too.

Trinity's all used to come with PJ's, then moved to the Keihin PWKs when they come out strong. The PWK Airstryker is IMO, the best single carb setup. The way the venturi is shaped helps with low rpm vacuum and it performs really well and responsive. The Lectron is a great carb as well, just a little too touchy for me, a little harder to regulate throttle.

Any brand carb would work, just make sure you get the right carb to fit the intake boot on the manifold. My 2 into 1 carb setup came with a 38mm Keihin PJ carb. :beer:

 

Used is the best way to go IMO

 

How does the 38mm compare to the 35mm? Does it affect your lower end any?

IMO, the 35mm carb is the ideal size for a stock bore bike, ported and works fine for a non ported motor. With porting, the 35mm performs killer. Without porting, the 33mm is a little more ideal but leaves you a little shorted should you mod further and with very little differences stock, it makes no sense to go that small and close the options off some. A 38mm carb will work fine but you do risk losing some bottom end, which is the point of the single carb to start with, IMO. With a single 35mm, you gain more power over the entire powerband, bottom to top than with the stock carbs.

 

When you start going too big, the smoothness of the powerband suffers, as does throttle response. If your drag racing, then response isn't an issue but if you dune, race mx or something where part throttle is just as important as full throttle, it's important to have the carb match.

 

If you find a deal on a 38mm, then I wouldn't hesitate to pick it up and run it, but if they're both the same price, I'd shoot for the 35 personally. That's just my little opinion.

I didn't run it for long, i had some trouble getting it tuned in right but later found out I had a major air leak on the intake manifold...o-rings weren't sealing.

 

I imagine the 35 would be better for low end response though

 

*edit*

LOL, sredish beat me to it :biggrin:
