Trent-KE30 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Sounds like a stupid question, but do these fit a K motor? and would it be too much overkill? Cheers Trent, btw i realise i would need a different inlet manifold, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwarf Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Yes. Depends on what you've done to the motor. No. BTW, they make great paper weights. IMHO Webers or Dellortos are the better option. Edited February 8, 2006 by Redwarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent-KE30 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Cheers, But i think 42mm is a bit overkill eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrolla Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 hey trent , i've got 42mm DCOE (sideraft ) webbers on my 3-k , but mines been bored out to 1500 , has a big lumpy cam and they still to big for my engine , i'll be getting rid them at the end of the month if you wanna have a go with them , make me an offer how much were you thinking of selling them for, ive got twin 42mm webers on my datto 1600 which has a pretty much stock internalled engine with lots of bolt ons it runs fine but doesnt like going into the low revs caouse it kinda chokes up or taking of it just bogs down and has hardly any torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINDSAY Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 james , ithink 42mm dcoes are a bit to big for a L16 , i get same sought of thing on my rolllr , not much before 3000rpm and then she wants to go!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwarf Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 They'll work very well if you get them dyno'd by someone who knows what they're doing. Hell, I know people running 45's on L16's, so 42's should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwarf Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Nick, tehy come as small as 28mm. That's what originally came on the 2TG. They're bigger now. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Yeah, you can get 28mm choke tubes for them, I have them in my DCOE Weber on a 5K and it gets off the line fine with pretty good torque. Quick and easy to change too... See Hardiman Auto supplies in Sydney as they are the Australian importer and distributor for Weber, they should be able to get some in.

ben Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Yeah, Webers rock! But I'm thinking of EFI in the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 should make like dual stage chokes :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
