FoxBansheeRacing Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Just put the shee back together tonight after getting the cylinders ported, noss head w/ 20cc domes and 2 into 1 35mm carb. I have it jetted right, both cylinders are firing, both pipes are equal in heat, both plugs look the same, but only one pipe is smoking? Is this normal? Even with a low-mid port job, increasing compression, and changing from stock carbs to a 35mm, my bottom end has stayed the same, and now top end pulls like a freight train, just the opposite of what I wanted. Why am I not getting better bottom end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I not getting better bottom end? Your not going to get the power your looking with the pipes you have. The carb sort of emphasized whats already on your machine. Your Toomeys are going to keep you from getting the powerband you want. You have hi rev pipes and are wanting the low/mid power. You need to sell the Toomeys and get some PTR mids, or Fatties. Changing from a 35mm to a 33mm is probably going to hurt you seeing that you have some porting. You need all the air you can get. Your limited to your top end power by your pipes, thats it. And another thing, that carb setup isn't going to be the best choice for most port jobs. It will probably do, but a set of 34mm pwks would probably better fit the bill.

FoxBansheeRacing Posted February 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I am going to get new pipes. Are you saying I should get a pair of 34's? I thought that those would be more for top end. What about a single 34 pj? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a single 34 pj? Well, I may have spoke too soon. It depends on how extensive your porting is. Read your other post HERE where I said: Generally the 2 into 1 carb kit is the best mid setup in regards to intake on a stock bike, but when you get into porting and stroking, it tends to not give enough air. With mild porting, you'd probably be alright. In my opinion, I would stick with the 35mm single for awhile, and invest in the pipes your wanting. Afterwards, if it isn't enough (there will be a huge increase in midrange) then you might step up to dual 34s, but wait first. I would by no means go down to a single 33. In other words, I'd leave your carb alone and stay with the 35, and get the pipes. After that, if your not happy, then get the dual 34s. As for your current setup, there is no other single carb setup that would be much, if any, better than what you have. If you change carbs, you oughta be changing back to duals. Also, they normally frown upon multiple posts in different sections. So beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001SSTBanshee Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Most people can only smoke one pipe at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
