[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 214657, member: 98"] Well we know the pistons top out taller in the sleeves on a 1200 motor over 1000s and 1100 motors ...not a lot but some ...cams and heads are aggressive...pistons are notched ..I’d say the whole idea that stock carbs won’t wont on this motor is sure sign it’s way different than stock oldwing set up ...this is about the same thing ...who would think stock advance curve would change things so much that carb secondary wouldn’t kick in ...Secondary carbs are hard to get right ...I’ve had a couple cars with progressive linkage 6 packs on them three two barrel carbs ...I can remember messing with then a lot to get them right ...but oh my once you did they would really put out and go ...it seems I’ve got hooch as good as I had my tri power Pontiac 400 I had in my 68 firebird ..just all go no bad spots ... I post posted all this just to say there is no easy simple plug and play SCC set up each bike will have to be worked on ...in this thread a page back or so there is mention of me dial in a VW Carb at a meet and greet .. I was like drunk as I could be and me and JPwinger put the manifold on then carb and dial it in ...I hardly remember doing it LOL..HE RODE IT FOR YRS ...but it seems the carbs have different behaviors between brands and others have huge trouble ...same goes with DFT carbs many clones made by different companies..mines a motorcraft ...there also hollies ..and of course Weber’s ..maybe others also ....
