DO IT! only if you can post the results =)

Man I have no problem posting results but I have a brand new engine so I have nothing to compare it to. But from what I read it sounds like the next best thing to sliced bread.

I can tell you why you should.. I have one on a 363 also , pro x not a cpi though. I have rode mine about 6 times now the latest a couple of weeks ago with rblack from the other forum. I know people are probably tired of hearing about it but I love mine. I got the 40mm and it has worked every bit as good as apt claims it would. So far every ride it has ran perfect, not a single bog or miss and this last ride we rode mx. It was probably high 80's or low 90's. Before when it got that hot I was changing needles and jets.

Thanks oldschoolr, I was following what you had going on, and everything else I have read I think I am going to order one.
I will def give a ride report.

Was it hard to get tuned at first or just bolt on an go ?cast or billet ? Price ? Do you need different needles for major temp changes or for different size motors ?

All I did was bolt on and go, mine is the billet 40. It started right up, I played with the low speed adjustment a little and set idle but that was it. They do have a metering rod that can be changed if needed. But tuning is a thing of the past for me now because it always runs perfect. Rblack doesn't know this yet but the next time we go ride I'm gonna put it on his esr 310 just to try it.

Do you use the same throttle cable as p w k ? Intake and air box boot stock size?

oldschoolr · « **Reply #11 on:** July 05, 2013, 01:31:14 PM »

[ATTACH=CONFIG]146[/ATTACH] It uses the same cable as a 38/ air striker and is pretty much the same size.

Nice thread. I'm really interested in these carbs.

I am with you on this one Dan, interesting to see the results on some of these hard to jet BB's.

oldschoolr · « **Reply #13 on:** July 05, 2013, 07:05:14 PM »

Dan I've already paid for a room from the April trip that I couldn't make. Lil Sahara is letting me just move the dates rather than losing my money. As soon as everyone settles on a date im gonna try to go. I have someone to work at the shop now and it's after my busy season.

Tony that is another reason I got this carb because the last time I went to Lil Sahara I never did get it jetted right, I spent half the time changing needles and jets.
