Carb Replacement : BSR32SS to TM30 - Page 2

Deadman,

I think I recall seeing a post on here indicating that carbs made for bikes shipped overseas (to us) (or maybe it was Canada) (perhaps with the "Marauder" moniker), did not have the plug?

Patrick, Is this the first use of "meh" on the site?

Ha. Yeah I saw that the lucky easterners get the no plug treatment, but I got this from right here in the states. Now as to where he got it from, who knows, but it was supposed to have been off a factory bike that got nice and smushed.

Meh= *sigh*, kinda. If it had a definition, its be "oh well" "whatever" etc...a sign of resignation perhaps. But I did do a site search (I have no life) and at the time there was 7 uses, me being the more frequent user of it, lol

So ... has anyone tried to switch over to a TM carb? Like a TM33 or 32, 28?

A carby has a relatively straight-forward job -- "sense" the pressure differential coming through it as a result of the variable airspeed flowing through (venturi effect) and thus deliver the appropriate amount of gas in response to the given pressure. I would presume that any carb close in size should work, and it's possible that a smaller carb might actually work better as the faster airflow through it could "crispen" the throttle response. Just a thought. I found this thread via a search because I wondered if anyone had tried a different carby. I'm thinking a kart carb might work well, assuming a manifold could be fasioned. As kart carbys are typically bolted on vs. boot, a suitable manifold would have to be found. I'd try a karting slide carb -- they're flat-slides, not barrel slides like the mikuni, and take up less space. I'll post a pic if I get a chance...
