First off, I am buy no means a carburetor guru or expert, I'm a diesel mechanic and have limited experience with carburetors and gasoline fuel injection, I understand the basics and have screwed around with a few motorcycle carbs over the years. I've have noticed though that over the past few years everyone seems to be in favor of ditching the stock CV carbs on their CB/CL350s in favor of the Mikuni VM30 kits. I also recall reading somewhere on DTT however that CrazyPJ and a few others have mentioned a modern 28mm would probably suffice to provide the same power if not a little better than the VM30s; so are the 28mm TM series of flat side Mikuni/Keihin PWK 28s not up to the task or am I totally missing something here?
I had a ZX-11 at one point and thought long and hard about dropping the big bucks for some Keihin FCRs and know that the ball bearing slides is part of the reason they are so responsive so would the same effect come from a similar small flat slide carb on the little Honda twins? Thanks in advance for any forthcoming criticism and help!
