Best Honda CB for pods

[mlinder]

This thread had gotten way vagina-ey.

Not in the good way.

The bad way.

 

[AgentX]

Like, her vagina kind of way?

For the sake of authenticity, we tracked down the original product model to show our original parts as she did when they were manufactured fourty-seven years ago.

*disclaimer: we super-duper promise that the parts have held up better than our model.

Ichiban, I do remember that segment. I see you are still waiting on the carb float bowl, that's what that bottom of the carb thingy is called so you'll know. I was being sarcastic when I implied the OP here was you. I know if it were you it would have contained a video in the post. ;D

Matt, while we can't compare pods to homicide, can we agree to compare pods to suicide? :

Shit, you mean we're brothers.

Nothing>Stacks>Pods>Stock filter box

Order of BEST numbers in but not limited to: MPG, Horsepower, torque, tire wear, engine filtration, atmospheric pressure increase(ram effect), gas atomization, and hipster high-fives at the latte shop due to sex appeal

You guys should have just told him this, the truth... Yall are ridiculous.

yes if you like your old injun performance you can keep it
if you like an open, vacant, look under the seat you can keep that plan
if you are happy with your pods you can keep them.period

get a cbx it would look real cool with 6 pods

you obviously like a challenge in cv carbs

I understand how pods are better than stock for 'hipster high-fives at the latte shop due to sex appeal'....but for CV carbs, they are extremely difficult to get performance in all aspects that you mentioned compared to the stock airbox, yes?

I know obviously there are slide carbs which seem to like them, I was just wondering about CV carbs.

The reason CV's are hard (or in some cases impossible) to tune with pods, is that they rely on air-flow to meter fuel by automatically raising the slide. In a (manual) slide carb, unconditioned air is almost no issue.

Pods, especially cheap ones, will create rough and uneven air. So imagine the CV slide just vibrating up and down, or not opening at the correct throttle position, or opening at a certain throttle position, but lowering at a higher throttle position. It's chaos!!!

OH. There's also the fact that a lot of filter boots block or disturb the flow to venturi air-passages in a lot of carbs, CV or (manual) slide. That throws off the air metering.

Having four cylinders is hard to deal with without an airbox. Again, the inner cylinders are going to experience different conditions than the outer cylinders, so they would need to be tuned and jetted individually. An airbox unifies the intake stream to each cylinder and of course smooths it out for our CV's. Airboxes can also breathe better than pods...

Imagine removing the airbox from a transverse V4. They have a hard enough time cooling the cylinders evenly.

Best choice for pod? That's easy, CB/CL100, on a good day they make almost as much power as a 2 stroke string trimmer... can't hurt them any.

HAHA this is the best thing I have read all day.
And the funniest part is its true.

Put on your helmets. These hellcats are about to reach speeds of three.
