    I tried this carb a year ago I could not get it to work properly. Interestingly, the guy who I bought this from, also could not get it to work. It is basically a new high performance carb. I've got a bit more knowledge now and giving it another go and have got better results but still not good enough.

    I stripped the unit and I noticed that the air bleed jet is very small, about 0.8 mm which would 'confirm' that the fuel is not getting enough air to correctly emulsify.

    There was a thread on a pit bike site in AU that talked about fixing really crapy PWK knock offs. With my 30 and 32 I drilled it to 1mm. Manly because the castings were a bit wrong. Is this a power jet version? When I get my FCR working I could lend you my 32 it should be jetted and very close to what you need. Little rich on the bottom but hey just keep it pinned.

    I checked the emulsion air passage on a pile of different 2T type Keihin carbs when I converted a 4T FCR downdraft to work on a 2T.
    They ranged from 1.7 to 1.9 mm - none were jets as such ,just drillings into the emulsion well below the shroud.
    The tuning stuff available on FCR suggested that 2mm always worked best on a 4T as the better emulsification gave better power - even though the AFR was a little
    too lean up top due to the big air jet.
    On the dyno I played with the replaceable main air jet, and settled on a 150.
    As with this and the low shroud, its fuel curve was spot on.

    I think what you guys are up against is the problem that has always plagued bleed carbs.
    Dellorto and Weber have literally hundreds of tiny variations in bleed hole geometry to match a carbs fuelling to a specific engines needs.
    Luckily it has been found that the primary type on a 2T is easily nailed, just with changes in needle shape, and an adjustable idle/air and main.
    Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.

    I accidentally just found out that Jan Thiel is a Facebook addict: https://www.facebook.com/Jamathi

    There are some very interesting mechanical and historical photo there! Perhaps Frits could ask him, whether I could repost some of his photos here, as many wouldn't have a facebook profile.

    I didn't have a Facebook profile either, I just registered because of what you wrote. Now I will have to learn to find my way around it.
    I must say I'm a bit sceptical. I just don't believe in 'over a thousand friends'

    By the way, if you want Jan's permission for anything, you will have to ask for it yourself, dynamik. Since both of you are on Facebook, that shouldn't be a problem.

    Yes, at first I was like "what's that, a facebook profile and personal photos? is that Jan Thiel?" - it seemed a bit strange., with all the respect!
    I can't and shouldn't be judgemental on anybody about personal stuff, so excuse me.

    As for the permission.. I didn't mean to have you 'do my dirty work'. I feel strange about asking things in personal, either facebook messages or PMs in forum. Plus, to be honest, I have a facebook profile for 'tuning demonstration/promotion' purposes only and I cannot help feeling embassared for my work against Jan Thiel's. Yes, that might be an inferiority complex, but.. ok.
    Since you think it will be ok, I will send him a message.

    p.s. I know there's no real word 'dinamik', but it's what my moto is called. so, if you don't forget, use the i

    So, Jan Thiel gave his ok. A few pics I found interesting:

    OK .... that was Te Puke, its a great tight track, lots of elevation changes and hair pin corners. The weather was fine Saturday wet Sunday, and rained all day long but great racing and times in the wet were much the same as the dry.

    And Tokoroa was no fluke as Av managed

    Placings were:-

    Race 1 Av Gav-V Rick and Kel

    Race 2 Av Gav-V Rick and Kel

    Race 3 Av Gav-V Kel and Rick

    So three 2-Strokes and Gav-V's FXR at the pointy end all day.

    Thanks for the info. The original Honda carb has a similar emulsion tube and it's air jet was around 1.8 mm, so it looks like it is time to do some drilling.

    Once again Avalon looked unstoppable.
    I pulled a horsepower mugging on Rick in that last race. The beast was embarrassingly fast, clearly quicker up the straight than anything else on the track.
