Afternoon all,
Title was a bit blunt wasn’t it? I want to put carbs on my K100 (lightly modified RT with sidecar).
Inviting suggestions for suitable Carbs, Configurations, and Manifold solutions (Your reasoning would be good too, so that I can sound very knowledgeable when I’m accosted at all the rally’s I will reliably attend).
I have no preconceptions beyond thinking that a performant 1 into 4 solution would be both heroic and beyond my maths and practical abilities (unless you know better).
I am hoping to still have a safe/usable (UK M’way) outfit at the end. I don’t expect to save fuel or improve peformance. I have no better reason for doing it beyond I want to, I have the down time and I expect it to be fun.
I don’t want to spend a fortune or hire a team of engineers.
I expect to delete or relocate to the sidecar:
Radiator, Fan, All things EFI, Battery, Maybe OEM HES, Possibly tank and fuel pump and FPR.
I expect to have a working test bed built from those boxes of bits Kpox promised me I would need.
In return, I’ll document the progress of any actual building that goes on. Everything I’m fed back will be collated and organised for publication at the back of the site.
I’m aware its been done before, and I’m not above nicking anyones ideas directly but I also thought it might be interesting to poll insights from a wider base that also know stuff but would otherwise never dream of doing this particular thing.
I’ve been down for 3 months. I’ve binged (and conquered):
- West Wing
- Star Gate SG1
- Star Gate Atlantis
- Deep Space 9
- Time Team
- Voyager
- Yes Minister
I expect a further 3 months that starts with a relocation to the Shed and a major reorg in preparation for the Big Project. Please consider your ideas as an act of Mercy.
TIA, Stu
