Just ride the fucking things

Then again any problems let me know and I'll sort them out with my very fine team of Bucket Racing Motorcycle Club tribal council helpers

You know what? All I have heard is heresay. I couldn't tell you what size the thing is. I shouldn't have even mentioned it cause I don't have the facts. Just as well I didn't mention names or even bikes, otherwise my conscience would be giving me a hiding. The guy in question has helped me out a few times and he's a good bloke, and a gifted rider. To be honest I was pretty dark when I heard he had a CR125 piston in his bike because I thought the rule was "no competition engine parts"

. I'm a fucken idiot for not taking the time to read the rules- somebody slap me round the head on Sunday ONLY ONE PERSON THOUGH:eyepoke: - but I've talked to a few people lately who also haven't read them or don't understand them, so I'm not alone there.

Look the point of this was to find out if putting the 28mm flatslide on is legal. If it's not its not. I assumed it would be legal, some other racers did too. A tuner I spoke to today, who has won a national title, was able to give convincing arguments for and against. Its a grey area- rules shouldn't have grey areas.

No I have some 20mm flatsides and I have seen a RM80 with according to the spec sheet a 26mm flatside so I was wondering what you got a 24mm flatside carb off.

So if you restrict the slide opening on a 28 can you make it into the "carburation equivelent" of a 24 ?

Why? A 40mm carb with a throat restriction of 24mm will only let the same amout of air to flow as a purpose designed 24mm carb, therefore no gain. Simple! Anyway who would spend more than $300 on a carb, thats more than most buckets are worth.
