Snopczynski Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 let me ask this? what would be a good motor to build around a 38mm 2:1 carb setup? for dunes/drags? How much you wanna spend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeseat$$ Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) I'll let ya know if it works on a 421 cub within the next few weeks, that is the same set up i am hoping for. A great duner/ partial dragger. The single 35 is on my bike now, but after talking to Tim at Cascade, he has preached to me the potential of this motor with a 38. From what he was telling me with his 4mil cub w/ a single 38 and pt's on his bike, he was suprising quite a few cubs set up with duals and drag pipes. but again... i'll put in my "official" ride test after the night drags later in August. I used to run a 38mm 2 into 1 on my 06 'shee with cpi inframes and it ran very well.I decided to go with dual 38's and drag pipes because the single 38 and inframes were limiting the performance of my cub engine.

jeepman128 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I used to run a 38mm 2 into 1 on my 06 'shee with cpi inframes and it ran very well.I decided to go with dual 38's and drag pipes because the single 38 and inframes were limiting the performance of my cub engine. But did it meet the qualifications as a good duner/dragger and not specific to the drag side of racing? I know it is limiting the potential of the motor, but i think he and I are not out for the fastest hill shooter...but rather a good combination of the two... where does this set-up fall as a duner... and those cpi's you speak of on your old set up i am very familiar with because I bought your old set (Again.. thanks for the pipes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 a very good duner setup would be a set of Paul Turner hi revs and either a 35 or 38 mm carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, there def, won't be those numbers on this bike for compression, but i do most of my riding around sea-level so hopefully that will help. I' am planning on taking it out next weekend to Glamis for the night drags and bringing my 35 and the 38 along to see the pro's and cons of each and then when the coming dune season comes around... i'll try out a set of duals... until then, i will keep you updated on the ride report. Keep in mind, i am transitioning over from a stock ported bike with fmf's to this current set-up so everything so far seems light years ahead of where i was.

slowpokebanshee Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 so I am still not convinced which carb is right for me...as of now, I guess I will get the 35mm and if the time comes for bigger I will E-bay the 35 in favor of 38.....but I do want to try a single carb, thanks for all the input......
