    dr400 carb on a gn

    Okay. exams are over and its time for a new attempt at useless upgrades that keep me busy. I just mounted a slashcut (removable bafflle ) shotgun shorty muffler on the ginny (thankyou motomail) and bogged that fool up with mainseal (aint gonna take the baffle out, it hurts my ears with the baffle in ). Yukie black color and it looks like someone sick took a dump on my downpipe and slid a muffler on ahwell, it seals well and doesnt stand out too much (will get pics soon). A friend of mine has an eighties (88 i think) dr400 thats rooted and wont get fixed... So a wreck. Now me being the crazy bald croatian that i am, i wanna mount his carb to my gn (after rejetting it appropriately) so i can get some more ponies (okay, pony).

    Is it possible? should just take the place of the old carb shouldnt it? i aint gonna need to do anything silly like machine brackets and such am i?

    Denis

    oh one more question! where can i get new jets from?

    Waste of time. At the least you'd have to open out the inlet port in the head. If the carb is a slip-on type, you will need to machine a new connecting manifold. If bolt-on, chances are that bolt spacing will not suit, so you will need to machine some sort of adaptor plate.
    As for performance increase - if done properly, you could expect a reasonable increase in HP, until the poor old underperforming GN motor gave up under the strain.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Bah, just drop the whole engine in there so you got a GN400
