35pwk's on a 350 dune ported

[glamisaurus]

Putting together a motor and already have a pair of 35pwk air strykers laying around. It would be cheaper to buy intakes than a different carb setup. Mods to include:

 

+4 timing

shaved head

lightened flywheel

Pro circuit pipes

afternarket reeds

dune port

 

Too big or will it work decent enough for duning?

[Snopczynski]

In my opinion anything bigger than dual 28-30mm carbs is too big for that setup.

[Bansh-eman]

im with snop nothing over 30

[glamisaurus]

That's what I thought. Anyone need a pair of 35's?

[Bansh-eman]

if you dont plan on going bigger and needing them later you might toss them up in the trade/swap forum and get what you need. but if you ever want to go bigger you might just hold on to them

[Snopczynski]

Lots of guys here switching over to the 2 into 1. You could seperate them and sell them. Or sell one and run the other, use the extra cash to get the 2 into 1 intake.

I have friends looking for a 2 to 1 manifold. I have a T-Rex right now and am sick of dealing with the power valves and race gas. My old Banshee with bolt ons went five hard seasons without a rebuild and never broke so I am headed back in that direction.

why dont you try them and jet them the best you can and actually see how the bike runs the bike might like the bigger carbs. who knows i would say just they are crap and sell them with out trying them first.

[Snopczynski]

Time after time again you see those yahoos out there with 35mm pwk's and cpi pipes and they just dont run like they should. So, he is probably asking so he doesn't waste his time, cause most of us here know a guy like that with the 35's. I know I do, and his bike loses to mine up the hill, and thats what his bike is supposed to be good at. It sad when you got a full port 350 with cpi's and 35mm pwk's losing to a mx port bike with a 2 into 1 pipe, and a 2 into 1 intake.

Hold the press, I actually agree with Wes on this one. He already has the carbs...see how it runs with them.

If it's a strong enough port, he has the correct gearing, etc...I think it'll run fine.

 

He already has the carbs, I've seen plenty of stock motor, mild port OEM cylinders run well with 34PJs...not a big step from that to a 35PWK.

 

At least he'll know for sure...how much hassle are we really talking..vs. selling them for something else and having to wait.

 

I'd run them... I think you're gonna lose some bottom end, but with timing and compression you can make up for some of that. Run 'em...see how you like them.

 

Snop...who's to say this guys porting isn't better suited to this setup than the guy you race...??

Who's to say this guy isn't a better rider, has a better setup, etc....

my buddy is running 35 pwks on a fast racing dune port and his bike rips!! he just went 4.86 with it the other day!!

 

granted that was on alky, but it was going low low 5's on gas!!

[bansheefreak]

i run 34's on my dune port.. no problems at all.. i would not run a 2into1 carb you be just wasting someof the power you would get from the dune porting.. snops thinks everyone should have 2into1 pipe and carb.. to have a duner..

[shanYE west]

I agree with Wes and Dave. I think alot has to do with how and where you ride. I had 35's on my duner motor and loved it!! I did loose a lil bottom end but.. I dont need alot of bottom for duning. I use more mid/top power wich the 35's were better suited for that application. You got'em.. .RUN'EM!! I think you'll be happy with them.

Hold the presses here. For one, I dont have a 2 into 1 pipe anymore. I have pro circuits now. Now secondly, I said he could sell one carb, keep the other and get a 2 into 1 intake with his extra money. I did not say he should, or that he had too, I said he could. I also said at the beginning he should run 28-30mm duals for his setup. So I am not pushing the 2 into 1 on him at all.

 

Now a dune port 350 will show no loss of power with a 2 into 1 intake. Only time you would see a significant loss is on a top end or drag ported motor. And obviously a motor with bigger bore or aftermarket cylinders. So, watch what you tell people I say, cause thats not what I said. Lots of people dont like the 2 into 1 for two reasons.

 

1. Other people bad mouth it.

 

2. Those other people never got it tuned right, so they bad mouth it.

 

About 75-80% of the 2 into 1 intakes with pwk's I come across on bikes have the wrong jetting and needles in them, and change the power delivery alot once we play with them a bit.

How can you say that without trying it on several different builders version of their dune ports??

I agree...but that could be said with just about any carb out there....
