Safer than a used condom, does that help?

[2wheeljunkie]

Nah, no use on my carbed DR GN.








Seriously tho, theres unlikely to be anything wrong with it

I bought a secondhand PCII a few years ago and it's still going strong.
You have to make sure that it's for the same model of bike, otherwise the plugs aren't compatible, and I suspect there may be other problems. Otherwise, go for it!

I wouldn't worry about it, they should be pretty bombproof.

Make sure you bike is the same as what the PCIII is in & best to try it out while still in the bike it is getting taken out of , then you know it works & can see if there is anything wrong with it .

as jono said they will be pretty bomb-proof unless someone's gone and hooked it up to mains power or something stupid.

Do get one though - my brother's hornet bike has a misfire and can cut out when cold since he did the pipe without a tune (and by now he's almost spent enough on sparkplugs to pay for the PCIII anyway!)

A PCIII ain't going to make a hell of a difference unless you get it dyno-tuned as well.

But then you'll get a good gain in performance.

Because we all know that it is so much faster (ergo: cheaper) to dyno-tune a carb'd bike than it is to dyno-tune a injected bike. Ohwaitno,theotherthing.

Not to mention carbs are so much more reliable and consistent as well as standing up better to wear and tear over time! Wait, I got that one the wrong way around too...

Carbs dont require electrical smoke

[Zim_Invader]

hate all you want... carbs are brilliant! if it weren't for them, u'd not have your injection systems! appreciate the foundations of your machine design kiddos. wait, so is it more expensive to dyno tune a carbie? i didn't know that... i thought u could always get around that by just tweaking them as needed. meh. so i've learnt something new.
