CV carb on a 350?
Posted: Fri Oct 23, 2015 4:17 pm
Hi chaps
This may have been asked before, in which case, humble apologies!
I'm building up a 350 based on a 1992 Superstar. BW has ported my cylinder head (nice job too!) and I was going to fit a 28mm Mikcarb, but it won't fit (top of carb fouls the rear tank/head steady fixing & frame). I have an almost new CV carb originally fitted to my ElectraX, which does fit...!
Question is where to start with jetting?
Key features are 350 standard spec apart from:
- ported head (30mm inlet)
- modest compression of around 8:1
- k&n filter (or similar)
- freer than standard exhaust, but not an open megga!
- electronic ignition (Boyer mk4)
Any help & suggestions gratefully accepted!
Thanks
Stephen
