I am sure this has been asked before , but I can't find the threade in search ?
Has anyone done a carb swap on these DB bikes with a carb that is more like the bigger Mikuni's with the air-fuel mixture screw on the side of the carbs, and if so what model did you use that will bolt right up to the intake manifold of these motors ?
Personally I cannot stand the location of the Air-fuel screw on these little carbs or the carb itself for that matter .
Yes, I realize once you find happy land with your air-fuel adjustment, thats just dandy, but when your modifying stuff from time to time, or weather or whatever , I am getting tired of messing with the location of this screw . Stupid place to put this screw . How dare they build a motorcycle under and around my my carburetor ! :lol:
I have put a straight slot screw driver tip in a foot length of high pressure tubing to reach up there when its hot, but its still toooooo much trouble .
It doesn't have to be this hard , and I know someone has upgraded thier carb on this bike. Any help would be appreciated of course.
Cheers, Kelly5150
PS...A bigger carb would be fine, it can handle a bit of upgrade anyway .
