Best bike carbs for a pinto?
Capri18 - 26/8/09 at 04:37 PM

Hi everyone, been thinking about putting a set of bike carbs on the pinto in my capri, just wondering if anyone has any advice on what to got for? The engines slightly breathed upon, its got a performance exhaust and manifold, a skimed and ported head with a piper 285 camshaft and i am slowly putting myself together a megajolt kit for it. 40mm carbs would be nice but what do you all think?

Cheers

Bogg Brothers tend to fit Yam R1 carbs to Pintos, and also do a manifold for them (and will do the rolling road set up).

Are the TB's more awesome than the carbs, any improvement?

any carbs from a bike over 600cc should do fine. i'm going for zx9r carbs too.

R1 carbs tend to be pretty expensive i think

Cheers everyone jacko i've had a look through your picture before when i was doing thinking about doing the conversion, tried to find them again but i couldnt remember your username, il have another nosey now. Is there any difference between ZX9R carb and ZX6R carbs?


jacko - 26/8/09 at 06:53 PM

The zx9r carbs are 40mm choke's and the zx6 are not as big

ZX6R carbs are excellent. I've got them on my 2.0 Zetec and they work great. They come with a TPS and have adjustable needles that make getting mixture right dead easy.
