Don't know m8, not a fan of bike carbs. They belong on 1 litre engines if you ask me.

 

Thats why I suggest getitng the biggest you can. Perhaps from a Yam R1 (early ones were carbed), or something along those lines.

 

But they will really need to be from atleast a 1000cc bike or bigger to be any use.

 

Hope that helps a bit

My pinto runs Mikunis off a Yamaha R1.Do a search on www.locostbuilders.co.uk for "bike carbs" or "R1 carbs".Theres pages of stuff & you should find all the help & info you need on there.

you can work out the CFM (or flow of air) by using the

max rpm divided by two time times the displacement of the engine and this gives u the amount per of air per minute the car engine uses at top whack, do the same for the bike engine the carbs are off and if is higher u are ok too use them...

1000 cc x 11,000 rpm

 

2100 cc x 7000 rpm

 

 

If you decide to do the maths using the above figures you will find the 2.1 Pinto consumes 34% more air at the above rpm's.

forget about looking for specific carbs , youl pay through the nose as the kit car boys are willing to pay over the odds

 

the daddies are mikuni rs smoothbores

 

its very unlikely to find em in this country though , even if you do they are costly

 

36mm will see you allreet

 

go for bikes that are unpopular

 

to sum it up

 

look for unpopular bikes

like steve says go for the biggest you can find , but size isnt everything

go for the newest carbs you can get , 1999 onwards ideally

mikuni or keihin ( but all oem carbs are of these manufactures )

buzz words to look for are smoothbore , flatslide , rs , fcr

 

this kinda thing
