Anyone out there set up a Buell with a Weber carb? Twin 40mm downdraft too much for a 1200? Bueller....Bueller... Thanks in advance! | ||

I think not. I've thought about that myself. Someone's going to do it eventually. A stock carb/throttle body is basically only feeding one cylinder at a time. Theoretically more power would be available with dual carbs/throttle bodies as it'd eliminate cross- scavenging and excessively high intake velocities at high RPM. Go for it! | ||

Not sure what carb Bud from Denmark is running (which reminds me...Bud I haven't had the chance to get the shipping cost together yet...) but he is running a downdraft carb. | ||

Appleton HD in WI tried it... Not with that carb though. | ||

coughIowacoughHDcoughnotcoughappletoncough They used a Jetski downdraft carb. | ||

Didn't someone use a Honda carb? | ||

More fuel would be good but the heads needs to be flowing good enough to use the fuel though. I know Thunderstorm heads are good but just something to think about. Sort of like a car being "over-carbed"...... | ||

Odie it isn;t a flow problem from what I understand, its a supply problem, IE: the carbs can't seem to keep up wiht the demand... | ||

Oh yeah... he he... Waterloo Iowa  . | ||

bud from denmark...ahum coughcough i'm from the NETHERLANDS... and no the carb is not on my bike, but on a bike from a friend off mine and it's a carb form a honda firestrom a 48 mm downdraft it took a wholelot off time to even get the thing running ( new jet's and all ) right, and it's still far from perfect ( running 1:10 )and fuel starving over 5000 rpm ( it suck the bowl empty ) that's something for this winter to fix but thats on a 88" xb engine setup  i't not something i would recommand better try a weber downdraft from a porsche ( 4 cyl. ) or something or better jet, put a fancy Fi on it ( i'm not saying that the stock Fi isn't fancy or crap, i't just not tunable ) gr,B ps. wycked... i got the t-shirt waiting | ||

'87-'88 Ducati 750 Paso used a Weber 44 DCNF two-barrel carb. (Message edited by mrh on October 17, 2004) | ||

tks for the great input so far - Dual 40mm downdraft Webers it is... | ||

Sweet. I read somewhere online about a shop that put dual CV's on an S2...I don't remember what heads they used. It took them a lot of experimentation to get them jetted correctly but that thing made some serious power. Tilley did the same with their Pro Thunder bikes, too. |
