docbainey Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 If you still want to run side drafts, I believe Pierce still sells the short intake https://www.piercemanifolds.com/product_p/mt-0037-c.htm I thought Redline produced one also? Their manifold raised the carbs up to get away from the booster, the pics in the listing below show you how close you'll be to the booster https://www.ebay.com/i/233293001120?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=233293001120&targetid=884638959240&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9015401&poi=&campaignid=9426322711&mkgroupid=98144268200&rlsatarget=pla-884638959240&abcId=1141016&merchantid=6296724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhez9sIv16QIVAb7ACh0VjgVDEAYYBCABEgIEWvD_BwE Honestly, a good set of 46mm SU's turns a stock L20B into a different animal. Throw a little bit of cam at it and good to go! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment

EDM620 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Most motorcycle carbs don't have an accelerator pump which is what gives you that immediate kick in acceleration. Not much of an issue with a bike because they don't weigh as much. As others have said, a Weber 32/36 downdraft is the simpler easier way to go. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 The accelerator pump is there to prevent a huge fall on your face bog when the carb opens suddenly and intake vacuum becomes almost zero. The engine is running so slowly that there isn't enough air flowing through the venturi to suck in gas. Slide or SU type (AKA constant velocity) operate differently. The slide opens as demand increases keeping the venturi vacuum constant. Quote Link to comment

Rat-a-tat-Dat Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Have a look at my set up. Cannon regular sized intake, Weber DCOE side draft carbs, short air filter housings and one smaller brake booster. Very snug but everything fits. Quote Link to comment
Suki68 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Is there a picture? Quote Link to comment
Suki68 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I would love to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rat-a-tat-Dat Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Go to Forums, under General click on Project Datto, then scroll down to my project headliner "Rat-a-tat-dat's", open and peruse. Plenty of pics and commentary of what I've done so far. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment
