I have this Daytona cylinder for my NSR50 engine. It has auxiliary exhausts, but they are terrible.
They open at or earlier than the main port, but I'll be raising the main anyway, so that's not an issue.
I'm going to have the cylinder bored and replated after I've worked on it, so any mods are possible within the limitations of wall thickness etc.
My main problem is the poor placement and size of the aux ports, so I'm asking here for advice on how best to improve them

Trust me , get the chrome off before you start , makes porting 100% easier.
Cant believe how bad those angles are , but here is a few pointers - most important is getting the A port front wall angled back.
Somewhat depends upon getting a piston pinned at the rear to get the B port wide enough with rear wall hooks in place.
I would go for reverse stagger scavenging , so you can leave the A port timing edge alone , and do an analysis on how much transfer STA you need to match the much bigger Ex STA.
As a guide you want as a minimum 1mm of height difference between the Aux and the main Ex.
What is the 37* angle for the boost , is that the floor inclination ?
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.
Hi
I have just come across a DMW Hornet all in pieces with rebuilt Starmeker and 6 speed box, less front wheel, exhaust and one other thing, which I can remember but not a big item, I suspect you could get it for less than £4000 if you wanted it. Interested? If you are I will try to link you up with the owner.
I dreamt up a two stroke sidevalve concept 23 dec 2014 and now somebody has taken it up.
Could maybe have saved the Orbital thing.

Thanks Wob. The carb turned up today. That adjustable power jet looks very interesting. I will use it.
Now to see if I can find a way to fit the 4,2mm ID Dellorto float valve into the Mikuni carb. Replacing the Mikuni 3,3mm ID float valve.
The challenges are that the Dellorto float valve has a 8mm diameter thread and is 22,5mm long. The Mikuni has a 10mm thread and is 18,5mm long.
There might be more than one way to to do this. The Dellorto float valve needle is the same length as the Mikuni. I could open the 3,3mm ID Mikuni float valve body out to 4,5mm and use the Dellorto needle. There have been a few suggestions on here about improving the flow out of the Mikuni float valve body itself. And F5Daves suggestion of using a ball bearing ball and punching it to form the valve set seems to work. I have a few Mikuni float valves so it could be worth a try.
