BTW - several Euro sports sites have live streaming of Moto GP, practice sessions and all.

Streaming was on NZSBK website, had live video with commentary , plus live timing , and live chat all on the same screen

So reading between the lines. We have Avalon on a 30hp rs chassis bike and Ned on pretty much the same. Well all I can say is bugger! Could be the year boys.

Av's is only 25 rwhp and Kel is on my 30hp Beast but 30hp only leaves Kel with the same power to weight ratio as Av and Av's got the better chassis.

Dave M will be peddling Speedpro's 30hp FZR/MB100

So it looks like some real compitition this year.

Got word back from Spyda/ Jellywrestler re commentary

"as for buckets F4 if it's there we commentate and can't see any reason the live streaming won't cover it, biggest thing we need is commentator info so will be up there earlier in the weekend to get as much as i can
yep saw nick do the deed at levels all those little bike classes have good racing too, it's somethinbg i'm focussing on more these days
cheers
spyda "

If you guys can help with a little background about the current bucket scene it would make the commentary all the better.

Personally Im over the "Bucket of Shit" mentality that comes with uninformed commentators, Spyda is up with the present and does a great job but needs good info to promote our sport.

Cheers
Yow

Bloody Bloody Bloody. I had a feeling that team Shanny would be there, new and improved. Well my new engine is still underway. I finished the manifold today. By total fluke it is .3 mm longer than perfect. New forged piston is machined and ready. Just waiting on the crank. Needs rebalancing coz the piston is a lump. New cams new valves new everything really. Looking at reving it to 14. We will see. Bring your cement bags.

Ooh didnt see that one coming.
Taupo is going to be very interesting, all going well one of us (The Daves all 3 of them, Nathanel, Avalon Rick or myself) will put the 4 strokes in their place, but it sure wont be easy with so much talent on show! I'd hate to have to call the top 10 it really could go any way.
How lucky am I to land a ride on the the beast

Agreed. The ESE crew chief would be a fine choice.

Yep I want to book a ride on that thing. Maybe on a kart track. That would be just stupid good.

Dont know about that, I'll be looking to renew my contract

1st place should sort that. Shame really

**marsheng** · 10th March 2012, 21:21

I'm finally getting the hang of some of the tuning pieces on carbs. However this part has still eluding me. It is an OKO 30 mm. I have got the idle jet correct, a good needle with clip in the correct position and the main jet seems ok. It starts idles and runs well below 2/3 throttle but nearing full throttle, (the bike still pulling well) I get a nice thick mist at the carb mouth above 9500 through to 13000

It has an emulsion tube and from what I have read, above 2/3 throttle, the holes in the tube lean the mixture off to ensure the correct balance. My guess is there is so much fuel being drawn out that it is not really vapourising well and floating all over the place. As some of it is being drawn into the engine as droplets, the bike still runs well as the air/fuel in vapour is the correct ratio. The main jet is already quite small.

I'm asking as drilling extra holes in the emulsion tube or increasing the air bleed holes (drilling the carb out) will improve the vapourisaton of the fuel but it is one of those jobs where it is difficult to return back to original if required.

Any suggestions ?

It's fine, leave it alone. All you are seeing is the mixture that was rushing into the engine bouncing back out because the intake has closed. Most of it gets sucked back in on the next cycle

. If you really want to know, try retarding the intake closure. And get a spare emulsion tube if you intend to alter the present one
