A friend who races motorcycles gave me a 40mm Mikuni carb with K & N filt=
er
to 'try' on my '77B. The installation appears to be very straight-forwar=
d,
and the performance boost (according to him) should be significant. My
question is: Has anyone on the list tried this before? I've seen the
weber and SU conversion info, but haven't seen where anyone had tried a =
=2E
=2E .GULP . . . motorcycle carb. BTW this carb is set up for use on a 30=
0HP
drag racing bike - not an 800cc oil burner. The jet is about right and t=
he
linkage is very similar/easily adaptable. What do you all think. If
nobody has any negative feedback, I'll give it a try and report back to t=
he
list. I know it's blasphemy, but the price is right and the potential
performance boost is too much to resist; besides, I can always re-install=
the Z-S smog-hog carb . . .
