    CV carbs, when to call it quits and move on

    cant go back to the airbox, frame is modified. The pod filters let in too much air and didn't allow the proper vacuum for the engine to run correctly. The "restriction" which is cloth around the pod is not much different than a foam filter and the bike runs fine. The crosspipe on the manifold...

    CV carbs, when to call it quits and move on

    Pod filters are letting in too much air. Bike runs better with bigger jets or more restrictive filters. Headlight isn't getting power though, going to have to address my electric issues before I fine tune jetting. By the way, I replaced my battery with a capacitor with 4700 farad, and then I...

    CV carbs, when to call it quits and move on

    I like to use a bread tie stripped of the coating to clean my dirty holes :D. Rolling the CDI. Ignition stator has different coils than charging on a cb400t. Battery replaced with a capacitor which currently reads 13.2V.

    CV carbs, when to call it quits and move on

    Teazer, The exhaust is stock, still has the cross pipe. I made the "H" manifold to replace the airbox, not the intake boots. The idea is to smooth the airflow. My theory is I've been humbled by my plan to avoid big jetting changes. what do you think of 95/125?

    CV carbs, when to call it quits and move on

    Went through the carbs again, no changes. Plug chop is showing either lean or cold - maybe a combination. I believe the manifold is not nearly as effective as I wanted it to be. ...so I am going to shim and go big on the pilot and main jets, block the slow jet bleeds as if I am running with just...

    CV carbs, when to call it quits and move on

    Cheap pods, but I have run it without any filters through the manifold I built, and I can see the slide fluttering. The air mixture screw has almost no effect, but I'm 2 turns out. I'm running 75/110 jets, do you think that's so small it bogs at 1/4 throttle?

    CV carbs, when to call it quits and move on

    78 Cb400t, kickstart only stock, stock internal, pods with "H" manifold intake to provide a common intake and more vacuum. The internals of the vb21's looks like crap, cleaned them but I think the Cadmium coating is damaged. I can get this thing to start first kick but it has little to no...

    I have carbs GALORE!

    Cb400t? Pe28? A pair in a 30mm?
