Hi Stu,
Those figures look great, how does it feel? I’m really interested in the single carb setup you have. Are there any downsides to running a single carb that you’ve found?
Also, did you have to fabricate the manifold for it or is it something you can buy?
Thanks, Kev

The single carb definitely made making changes far easier both on my initial set-up and whilst tweaking things on the dyno. ;D

Interesting 🤔 what single carb are you running and any pics?

Hello again gents, the single carb manifold I used I had made as a one off, however I have since tried it on my YPVS and its the same fitment :D and the YPVS  set up is available is available from Norbo so much easier (and cheaper) to get.

As for carb size, I opted for a 38mm and I'm getting good results but that being said I may experiment with other sizes in the future for comparison.

The bike is very drivable, Its not just a top end screamer that so many tuned strokers end up being, I suspect a slightly smaller carb could help improve the mid range a little more.

Cheers, Stuart.

Here is a picture of the carb and manifold set up.
