Gday can any one suggest the best carb to go with the new 96c ultima shovel motor im startin a new project building a boobeerr yee ha cheers i was thinking e seris s&s?????????????????
Hey Tweeds,
Depends what you want from the bike, also what frame & gearbox has the bike got?
With the carbs there are lots of different carbs out there. a 96 cubic inch shovel needs more air to get full performance than the E gives, the E seems like a big carb but has a small venturi, the G is a bit better, the s&s B with adjustable air bleed is a good carb if tuned right, the s&s D is good too but bloody hard to ride on the street with. i've never used Mikuni's onlu on dirt bikes but some people love them, the old SU was good but you have to tune them a lot, the CV 44 or CV51 would be good but don't look as good on a shovel. the old S&S L has a clasic look. do you want to go fast or just look good?
cheers
