Carb upgrade on my Trials Bike

[socalhodaka]

In effort improve ridablity and tuning, we swapped the Wombat 24mm carb with the Superrat 24mm carb. The set up would be a little cleaner and with running advise from Danny Messmore and Greg Watkins things improved 100%.

Here is the new setup

This is the before set up

We have a hard to find 3.0 slide, with out this Greg would have modified another on to match

Here's a very cool float valve from old stock.

Tried a few different needles

I still need to fine tune the front suspension next, with such a mix of parts that was use to build it takes time to get it figured out. The forks are Bultaco. Thank you Greg and Diane

Ooooo - I can hardly wait to get a chance to bum a ride on your scooter!

You used the Mikuni VM24 SH from the 100cc SuperRat? And your Wombat originally had the VM24 SH-83B (or -83A)? And it runs better with the plain-jane SH carb?

I've got a VM24 SH-83B on my 125 Wombat 94 and although the carb works OK, it's "been ridden hard and put up wet" and I might budget for a new off-the-shelf carb next year and if I can get a bolt-on better carb for the same $$, I will.

That bottom needle in the photo looks boring...
