Re: any suggestions on what motorbike carbys to use on stock a12?

32/36 waayyyyyyy easier. Whys it dangerous?

Bike carb are NOT bolt on and drive. Sikyne made a manifold for me but I gave wrong angle as I thought they were sidedraughts now down drafts.
Super sensitive to fuel pressure. Mine are running 1psi pressure with a bleed t peice.
1 psi constant can build too much pressure of needle and seat causing flooding and fuel leaks out overflows. That's more dangerous.

then you still have to set float heights then needle positions if they are adjustable (some arent. .. good luck tuning them) then work out pilot jets then main jet . Syncing carbs and cleaning them out too.

id guesstimate ive spent close to 25hours so far just to get a pretty decent rough tune.

this does not include head and cam swap from blowing head gasket or other non related stuff.

32/36.... $60 spacer plate and throttle cable and will run rich but will run with bit more performance too.

honest truth ive done it cheap on old 1200's.

saying that I love the sound of 7000rpm bike carbs even after more grey hairs and ive learnt heaps.
so how much spare time do you have reading mikuni or kehlin manuals and surfing google ontop of that 25+hours on the tools? I have random insomnia so thats my spare time. Great in summer.

If you are looking at pairs look 2 30-36mm or similar from my undrrstanding.

Otherwise zx9 carbs, 4 carbs may work ok too. Lots of work and dont think silicon to the runners with hose clamps will do it, sikyne wisely tokd me use the stock carb to manifold rubbers, they seal and hold the carbs with groved seals and special clamps.
