    ‘83 venture single carb conversion

    in General Tech Talk

    Posted

    Mantree91, to answer your question I really like the single carb. Now about the log style intake, the ‘wings have an opposing 4 cylinder engine and our ventures are a v4 so I do not believe that a log style intake manifold would function well on the venture. Here’s the link to the kit I installed so you can see the what the intake manifold looks like. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254289566865
    I would build a box that would run front to rear and then 90 degree bends from the sides down into the boots. My other thought is something similar to what you have but with a 2 inch colector in the middle with the carb mounted at the flair.

    If this is what you are experiencing at the moment as well then you should post the issue.

    I'll split the problem by color..

     

    This suggests a pilot jet issue.

    This suggests a leaking at the needle so, opening the throttle compensates with more air added to the mix!

    This represents a power issue not a start or idle issue

    Bring this to a new thread and let us help..

    I actually just won a auction for a weber 32/36 so I am going to give it a shot. At worce what I payed I can still make my money back and ma e just waisted time tinkering. The bike is getting some much needed love right now so I will try it while I have everything apart.

    Diaphragms should last longer than what you are experiencing. In any case though, rebuilding is not necessary to change the piston/slide diaphragms; simply remove the side covers and its all there in front of you!
    It wasn't starting and when I finaly got it to catch it would die if you didnt give it constant throttle. I pulled the slides out to cleen the needle jets and they are full of little holes. My best guess is something in the winter blend dost agree with them. I replaced them the end of the first winter of rideing and that was 4 years ago.

    If you would like to discuss the potentials, I suggest you look up our discussion on this topic. Unfortunately I can't remember the title of the thread? Maybe Puc or Flynfool does? Post there if you like after reading the give and takes we hash thru it.

    You won't change my mind with regards to this type of adapter but I have thought thru some progressive carb linkages that could benefit power output.

    Air flow is the heart to the engine, so you need 1st match what is there, then aim to improve on it.

    You need to lower the setup.

     

    I have commented on the setup you linked somewhere in a repost, not sure when that was, it is the same setup/adapter as what we see here.

    That's fine I'm just looking at rebuilding my carb rack for the second time in under five years diaphragm failing. If I can get the Single carb swap to perform that's a lot easier to work on then the rack of four.

    What about something similar to the OPs set up but with a longer inlet that turns into a collector at the top for a progressive 2brl. That might help with the turbulance and make kind of a velocity stack.

     

    There was another attempt here a while ago. He claimed good results.

    Blue cap caliper rebuild

    in General Tech Talk

    Posted

    I picked up a full set of new calipers for my mk2. 2 right and one left blue cap calipers. Now my question is how do I rebuild them before I install them. I have seal kits coming for them and just need to know how to get them apart.

    Forks are mostly back together just need to fill them up and put on the fork caps. I also need to get the brakes on but I was going to rebuild but instead I ordered a set of new r6 brake calipers.ebca6208e7a612a93822f50fb4fed0e2.jpg

    School me on trailers

    Not ANY powered converter is fine. You still need to get either a 4 wire or a 5 wire to match your trailer.
    I'd rather just rewire the trailer so that if I needed to pull it with the truck or my wife's car it is the same wireing. I just wasn't sure if there was a law about turn signals on the trailer.

    If I wasn't so far away I would give you a hand with testing. I am looking at putting my ignition under control of a megasquirt to facilitate in COP ignition. I have also been thinking of using some 01-02 gsxr1000 throttle body's since they are not cast together but bolted together more like old carbs. I am not familiar with a lot of the tools used in milling and lathe work. What do you need the dovetail to do?

    Brake delink questions

    in General Tech Talk

    I used a Vmax splitter, universal lines and R6 calipers, which I had to go through before use.

     

    IIRC, I cut a ~4" x 1" slab from some 1/8" aluminum stock, then drilled one end for the VMX splitter and the other to bolt to the front lower of the steering tree, mostly to just get it to where it's position was natural for the brake line lengths. I cant recall where exactly I bolted it and cant seem to find the pic, but I did use some blue loctite to make sure it didn't wiggle loose over the miles. It's been a couple seasons and it does just what it should.

     

    It's -12 deg right now and the bike is outside under cover, I can get a pic as soon as the weather breaks a bit. If you take the splitter and start looking around the front of the forks where it has to go I think you might see what I'm talking about.

     

    I like Skydocs kit, it just didnt fit within my self-imposed budget for this machine. Now if I had a source for universal steel braided lines locally my life would have been a whole lot easier, as it is I used what I had on hand, which included aftermarket lines for all 3 fronts and the Vmax splitter. I had too use aftermarket lines as the OEM lines did not fit properly onto the R6 calipers, which I also installed at the time.

    Thanks it's about 12 degrees f here -11 or there abouts c here. I was working in the garage stripping the calipers for rebuild and paint, the lace heater was hardly keeping up and the top hat puts off to many fumes to run in such a small place. I will go with ss lines eventually, I will have 5 made for the venture and 2 for the cb750. I will be using the low pressure line from the rear to run the sidecar brake (since the car spends most of its time unloaded it would brake traction easer if it got the same power as the rear brake.

    I think they came out pretty good. I am replacing all exposed hardware with stainless and the drain screws were replaced with some socket caps as the old ones were pretty badly stripped. I couldn't find the gasket that is suppose to go on them so I used a o-ring.
