Some good info, tips and tricks in here, I like your engine test rig, very professional.

You mentioned almost everything on the "walk around" of the carbs. But whats that little nipple that goes straight out on the carbs right above the tps sensor. Is that vaccum or another breather?

I have the same carbs here, planning it to go in a 1977 2.0 Vauxhall cavelier. Should be easy since it has an old contact breaker ignition, so just have to bypass the mechanical pump with the R1 pump, weld up a manifold and some tuning. Cant wait to get it going!

Thanks for the video, inspiring to say the least

How does the bike carbs handle cold starts because some people say they can't start in the morning even when the choke is pulled out so they have to be manually primed with fuel. How do you sort this problem out. Awesome vids BTW 👌

Knew a guy at RR made a spitfire piston from scratch

I have a Ford Mondeo mk1 1.8i engine and wuold like to mount it on a Ford fiesta mk3 and mount some carburettors, can i use the original engine ignition or do it need to mount an additional control unit ? Thak you.

[troypowell]

can you tell me how you wired the fuel pump. i did mine to come on at 100rpm but it doesn't work so i wanted to see how you did it. what wire went where.

Great content! What size main jets are you running?

[shaunclarke]

Can you purchase this as a full kit including ECU and everything needed to fit to the 1.8 zetec?

[graysonyogenshapetersen]

What size pilot jet and Mai. Jets would I start with for a Sohc d16 honda engine.

Fitting bike cvarbs without having 'correct' intake length from original air box is losing you a lot of power unless your doing some extensive modifications inside carbs.
fuel shut off valves, may need float height re-setting if changed.
Use specific service manuals as so far I haven't seen it done properly anywhere on You-Tube..
What about carb synchronisation?
Throttle plate settings are adjustable on almost all multi-cylinder bike carbs and fuel injected bikes (Honda removed adjusters about 2010 on some models).
Fuel screws 2.5 turns out is generally shows pilot jets are probably too small but below 3 turns out is almost always OK. Don't screw in too tight as there is a small 'needle' at tip of screw which is easy to break off in carb body (plus washers, springs, o-ring to get lost when you take things apart)
ALL modern bikes will have vents into air box or gas recirculating canister, haven't had atmospheric venting since late 80's.
There are really only two main carb manufacturers from japan, Kei-Hin and Mikuni.
Hitachi and CVK make carbs for some manufacturers but in less quantity and alternative parts can be really hard (or impossible) to get hold of

Question does the bike carbs has to be tune with the nodizpro??

[matsoebatsoe]

where can i buy the throttle cable kit?

[TheFoMoCo]

What's the reason for running carbs?
