After my WERA race weekend I decided a little more power would be useful and since my stock carbs are worn out so that the idle hangs and the bike is hard to start when cold, maybe I could fix three things at once.
So the flat slide carbs came out of the box and went on the bike. It started right up, idled nice and sounded wicked. Today, when the bike was cold it started right up with a push start.
I’ve been running a full loss system for some time now but because of the easy bump starting I saved another 7.5 lbs by removing the starting system including the wiring. Some of that weight came off the end of the crank giving me more power and better flick-ability.
See you at Willow with MotoYard on the 8th.
