Hibernation mode, also reverting back to 0.7 sheet (what was I thinking?)
Corr typo in the first drawing mid section length.

I did some speculating regarding the advantages of the the increasingly converging baffle. I'm not sure if the reasoning conveys from the scribblings, but being the baffle has a restricted useful length before possitive effects of the furthest part is eaten up by the part that is still in the 2/3 dip.
So it might be that the wave profile is the key, more suitable for pushing fresh mix, and is better tailored to fit the regime.

[wobbly]

Having a 3 angle increasing convergence gives an asymmetric amplitude return wave form.
Having the steepest portion at the furthest point from the piston , gives an increasing return pressure wave as the piston is closing the port - exactly what is needed for extracting all the remaining energy.
This will generally increase peak and overev power .
A one piece steep cone will give more peak , but the then it drops dramatically after peak - and looses front side power.
The 3 angle can easily be tuned to give more power everywhere.

Note taken.

There was talk of the Mikuni or Keihin carbs with full length needle jets to top of bore with a series of tiny holes the whole length. It makes me visualize an even spray of fuel thats somehow better than just spewing up from the bottom. This video of FCR's on a Ducati at 33,000 frames per second tells me carbs work work pretty good already. Alex at 2T stuffing might get some good information with a high speed camera looking down the carb like this

I have seen fast frame video's of a Lectron/Mikuni and a SmartCarb/Fuel Injection.
Seems one of the reasons the carbs that use a needle with a flat on the engine side work so well , over a wider range of weather , is they atomize the fuel droplet size much smaller.
EDIT - those fuel droplets in the FCR's are huge.
The idea of a hollow needle with a multiple series of vertical holes is in fact no better at atomization than the normal emulsion tube/needle , with or without a shroud for main jet air correction.
Its been done several times , including pumper carbs.
I haven't seen video of that , but the dyno doesn't lie.

Party at local shop. TM 450 and 89&93 Honda CR 500.

Third place in New Zealand F5 (50cc Bucket) Road Race championship.

There were plenty of other faster riders but I rode and finished all the races in the series. Preparation and consistency beats faster talent to the podium once again.

this is a promo shot of Yoshimura MJM

it also seemed to be a bit of a gimmick.



It seems to make odd farty noises.

We have a MJM carb on one of the RG50's. No more power but it seemed to throttle better than the standard needle/needle jet carb. We liked it. It got past the power dip better than the std OKO carb. The improved throttle response made this one a keeper for us. From experience we know that what works on one engine may not be great on another so we keep an open mind. Best by Test.

And I always thought the fuel was meant to go into the engine...

Well sometimes it seem that airfuel mixture goes 2 or 3 times past the mainjet.....

Sinply out of curiosity, how does the very early TD pipe with effectively a part - spherical end cone align with this ? Certainly the steepest portion is at the furthest point from the piston, if nothing else.

[wobbly]

One of the first pipes to use the increasing angle idea were early KT100 Yamaha versions that were developed when centrifugal clutches became the rage.
It turned out the best of these used a parabolic shape that was spun on a mandrel.
That TD cone had me fucked for years trying to understand what chemicals were involved in its development.
