Which carb?

Which carb?

Postby Hammerhead » Fri Jun 29, 2012 1:12 pm

Pro's and cons of the 36 and 32 carbs?
Does the earlier 36 work better with the older bikes for instance?
(mine is a 1992R - 3XV4)
Or do you simply buy one when you get the chance?

There's guys on here that'll tell you the oem 28mm items give you all you need.
What are you trying to achieve?
I did porting and pipes with 36's and bike will not run with air boxes.

Just getting the bike running at the moment.
The idea is to then slowly start sourcing parts to build a separate engine.
Trackday use only.

In that case - bigger is beter ! Provided you go to town on the rest of the motor .

Yebo. That's the bottom line. SP carbs had blanked PJ's and altered airboxes to get a result

I am willing to part with my SP boxes. I also bought the non restricting carb boots, they were over R1000!!!
PM me when you have your carbs in hand. You also need inlet rubbers.
