caprinerd Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 to put on a 2.0 pinto got a few on the bay watching but just wondered what others think
surfingturnip Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 flatsides of some description I believe. A1ex is the best to ask about this if I remember correctly as he knows about such things EDIT: Mikumi rs flatsides rings a bell for some reason

DAZZA Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Id like bike carbs, I saw the ebay purchase on the thread I put above which seems OK. I assume you have to still buy the linkages, but what else?
richie_stix Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 dj rich here! late reply cos last nite i was ring bogg bross or sign up to locost forum, thats what i did... rule of thumb, mikuni's are a wee bit more consuming but more balls out and kehein are slightly more economic town centre friendly! some people will tell you that you need the all singing, all dancing carbs... but really, just make sure you get the right choke size... which i believe is between 36-38mm.... suzuki gsxr carbs, cheap and good, yamaha r1 flatsides, really good bu more pricey!
caprinerd Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Posted August 28, 2008 this is one set im looking at had a chat to a mate who`s well into his bikes http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=021
Fiesta Steve Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Q: hi what size are the inlets A: 28mm with cable choke Seem a bit small , might wotk on a 1.1 or something though
Gonzo Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Well if you're not doing much with the motor, they should be ok... Don't forget they came off a bike that revs to about 10k, so on a mild tune Pinto, I don't reckon they'd be bad. I put some very similar ones on my mate's Yam XJ550 and they sound GORGEOUS! That sorta fing is what you're after though. Mechanically operated slides rather than vacuum operated.
caprinerd Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Posted August 28, 2008 That sorta fing is what you're after though. Mechanically operated slides rather than vacuum operated. nice one bud how do i get over the push pull system if it has that set up ? would a return spring sort it out
Gonzo Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 To be honest, you really don't need the other cable. The ones on my mate's XJ are fine with just the 'pull' cable. The 'push' is just typical Jap overengineering. The carbs have got a ruddy great spring on 'em to shut the slides anyway. Keep 'em clean and lubed up, shouldn't have any problems.
Gonzo Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah, but SU's have got vacuum-operated slides.
gpcmatric Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 I put a return spring on mine had problems with sticking good as gold now
caprinerd Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Posted August 30, 2008 ok the next question is what pump set up do i use? do i need a pressure regulator? and what sive pipe and fittings do i need? sorry for all the questions but bike carb set up are like knitting to me (i know nothing)
Gonzo Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 Bike carbs are generally gravity-fed, so yes to the pressure regulator. No, I have no idea what pressure they'd take before overflowing. Pipe size is usually about 8mm off the top of me head. Shouldn't need any fancy fittings.
caprinerd Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Posted August 31, 2008 cheers m8 no more stupid questions come to mind
gpcmatric Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 NO PRESSURE REGULATOR JUST USE BIKE PUMP IM USING A R1 PUMP .RUNS FINE ONLY PUMPS WHAT IT NEEDS GOT ONE ON E BAY FOR 15 SQUID :lol:LOW PRESSURE HIGH CAPACITY
mk1super Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 And i'd not worry about carbs icing up on em left a Fireblade outside in 4 below zero ( Yup it gets cold in Scotland! ) And bike fired up no probs and it was covered in snow
mk1super Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 NO PRESSURE REGULATOR JUST USE BIKE PUMP IM USING A R1 PUMP .RUNS FINE ONLY PUMPS WHAT IT NEEDS GOT ONE ON E BAY FOR 15 SQUID :lol:LOW PRESSURE HIGH CAPACITY Spot on there mate and remember it can feed a bike thats quite able to top 160mph. It wont struggle to keep a car in Petrol, also a mate of mine races an early Carbed R1 and its still running the standard fuel pump and that bike is moddified to a VERY high spec and was clocked @202.5mph (On race gearing) and again the standard pump managed just fine
caprinerd Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Posted September 8, 2008 ive got a guy that will make the manifold for me charges around 60 quid, he made one for his dads kit car (as seen in police gala pics on show reports) is this a good price all the stuff is lazer cut and cnc`d and says he can make them for any engine.
Copey Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 ive got a guy that will make the manifold for me charges around 60 quid, he made one for his dads kit car (as seen in police gala pics on show reports) is this a good price all the stuff is lazer cut and cnc`d and says he can make them for any engine. yes thats a damn good price, and if i ever get bike carbs do you think your friend will be able to help? i will even give him an extra £10 for a crate of beer!
caprinerd Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Posted September 8, 2008 ive chatted to him on msn and via emails and ive give him the forum link he says he`s defo up to make them for the osf forum so the answer would be yes this is his email addy just tell him you got it from osf forum m8 stefanzbrozek@hotmail.com really nice bloke and knows his stuff
DAZZA Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Can we simplify this with a list guys? eg- Mikuni Flat sides (R1 GSXR or ? 36-38mm chokes) - £ http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAHAHA-YZF-R1-02- ... 286.c0.m14 (dont like the look of all those wires hanging off it) R1 pump - £ Custom inlet - £ Linkage - £ .... anything else?
