SpeedRacer88 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 would it be ok to run some 36mm pwk carbs on a trail ported shee with bills pipes +4 timing & lightened flywheel and will my stock thumb cable work with the carbs?

Wildcardracing Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 You could, but you really wouldn't be gaining anything. I think you'd be more happy sticking with your stockers. The largest I'd put on a stock stroke trail ported engine are 28's. Those 36's are just way too much carb for your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I agree, too much carb! Drag Shee's are running 34's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trail port on those cylinders are not your typical industry trail port. Those are fully ported aggressive trail port cylinders. Made more for dual purpose. Set at 192 on the exhaust and 130 on the transfers with full transfer tunnel hogging. I wouldn't go over 33s on the carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go over 33s on the carbs. Got the same port on my cylinders from HJR. Started with the 35 mm PWK's, ran great but sucked fuel! Then tried the stockers, also ran good enough. Ended up with the 28 mm PWK's and LOVE the bike now :biggrin: No notable performance difference compared to the 35's. You can use the stock 'TORS removed' throttle cable with the Keihins!

Tim Potteiger Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I bought and have run 36mm Lectron HVs for 8 years now, and I would give anything to go back and buy 32mm instead. The 36mm are fine, and the bike runs good, but it is way too much carburetor for a "trail" ported bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 If it was me I would go with a PWK 33's. I dont know if it would be worth spending that money to jump from a 26mm to a 28mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildcardracing Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Personally I would save the money and stay with the stockers with those mods. The stock carbs are very under-rated in my opinion. But, I would like to add that the 28's may not flow very much more at high rpms, but they do offer a decent advantage at low rpms due to the flatslide design.
