Individual carbs

[BigElCat]

here's one of my Zuk 'BPs'....G13BA(?)

I've toyed with the idea of bike carbs, but I don't think I could get the chokes to run for a daily driver.

My idea was to adapt a downdraft weber to avoid syncronizing and the choke problem.

None of this will happen any time soon.

The choke on a bike carb doesn't actually choke anything, it just opens a vacuum passage directly into the bowl to allow more fuel to richen the mixture.

Sync'ing carbs is actually really easy. You just adjust the individual throttle plates so that each carb draws the same vacuum at idle. If you want to get really freaky with it, you can also do this at 1/4 and half throttle, and adjust to the average of the differences, but it doesn't really help much, and it's a LOT of extra work.

Make sure if you do IC's, you put a vacuum nipple on each port. Then you can use any combination of one or more vacuum gauges to report actual vacuum at the intake and adjust them accordingly.

There is hardly any room in these small engine compartments. I had enough of a challenge with a twin carb setup. Good luck squeezing in four carbs and then balancing them.

LUV the dual Hitachis!

Is that a B6? How do they run?
