R1 Carbs (lots of pics)


Recommended Posts

I highly advise velocity horns on any carb but specially multiple side drafts. Because there is so much room on a cross flow head I would also suggest ram tuning. How hard is it to put hoses on the carb inlets? One simple formula is N X L = 84,000 where

N is the desired RPM range

L is the distance from the valve face to the opening of the flared inlet in inches

84,000 is a constant involving the speed of sound, air temp, blah blah blah.

 

If your motor makes it's peak power at say 5,500 RPMs you can ram tune it just above say 5,800 by transposing the formula...

 

84,000/5,800 = ideal length in inches. OR 14.4 inches. If the valve face to the intake is 3" and the intake to the carb is 6 inches, and the carb body is 3.5 inches for a total of 12.5"... you could add a 2" velocity stack to each carb and take advantage of free ram effects.

OFFENCE TAKEN!

 

j/k

 

Gong to fire mine off tonight. I plugged the trans with the old yoke. got all coolant lines done and filled. Put a makeshift gravity feed gas tank on. DONE. It's happining people!! and I'm GoProing it. :P

 

Will post video asap.

 

wellllllll?

 

you cant do that to us, man...

I'm having a exhaust guy make me 4 2-3" flared tubes for velocity stacks. el cheap-o is my name-o.

hood dose not close

Slingshot, great progress!!! Ka ftw!

 

 

Things I would address by looking at your pics. Cut that intake back into the angled part. (your probably already going to for hood clearance) but the reason I say this is cause you already have the right angle there in the runners, but then they flatten back out again so the carb bowls still aren't right. The massive lift you have in the runners ends up being pointless.

 

Also, make sure the throttle cable is pulling straight out of the sheath not angled. Just fyi, that causes frayed cable issues pretty quick. This happens on 08-09 ski-doo's in under 1000 miles. (I know i had one)

 

Also, where did you attach the cable on the pedal end? if you put it right at the stock pull location its going to have a really short pull to WOT and will result in some touchy throttle syndrome. Reason I utilized the 510 linkage was to change the pull ratio. since the bike carb pull is about half the cable pull distance of our cars.

 

 

 

Just things I noticed. Now Get'er fired up!!

Thanks for the pointers.

 

Your car sounds bad ass!! I am so excited to get mine running!

Off topic real quick Vintage, What software you using to edit your gopro video with?

 

It's a really high end program.....you'll never be able to figure it out......only for the pros................ahem...............windows movie maker.................ahem............

I had my speakers turned up and barely heard my neighbor knock on the door asking me what the sound was, I explained it was a single cammer ka24 with R1 carbs, he wants the audio track to put his son to sleep.

 

Rock a bye baby on the tree top,

 

when my car drives by, your cradle will ROCK.

That's probably a bit of reversion. I have a flat slide mikuni on my bike that has an accelerator pump. At certain RPM's the backup of exhaust pressure at the overlap of the cam pushes fuel vapor back out of the carb.

Before that I had a Kehin CV and the same thing would happen.

To be fair I have high lift cams with quite a bit of overlap and it's pretty common on Harleys ;)
