The production slides just got too Edelbrock today. So I will not get then till next week. Then I should be able to make the final adjustments to the air/fuel mixture for the carb.

 

Thats good news,we anxiously await youre findings.
Graydon Proline is also making a carb kit for the DS.They have a modified machine at there shop and I will check it out next tuesday and will let all know what they have to offer us.

I would be interested in the facts of a Graydone Proline carb. I installed their exhaust system on my DS and love it. Im also curious about the Ron Woods Stage II kit . Whats the results of performance and has anyone had any problems with it?? Thanks

 

The new slides come in but they stick just above idle. You have to give the throttle a quick twist to idle. So the slides are bask in the shop to have a Teflon coating put on. I hope to have new ones back by Friday.

 

thanks for the update CALDS650
let us know when they are working!

 

It should go faster now. They have a local with a DS650. They can make a change go out and ride and test and go back to the shop and make fellow up changes a lot faster.

 

I check out the Mikuni HSR42 flat side carb on their web page. The throttle set up is the same as the original Qwiksilver. Edelbrock had to make a new bracket for the throttle linkage. As it looks on the web page it will hit the right side frame rail. I had to change to a twist throttle because of the push-pull throttle linkage. Hope this help ScoobyDFW

The push pull twist throttle is a dual cable set up. One cable open the carb and one helps in closing the carb. It is used mainly on multi-carb motorcycles. Clad you can us your thumb throttle.

 

I went to Graydon Proline today and checked out there new carb. kit.It has an accelertor pump and comes with a twist type throttle with a push pull cable.They were jetting it at the shop and I had the chance to ride it.It revs very quick compared to the stock carb. but was running a little rich so there is still some fine tuning to do.They are taking it to Dumont Dunes this weekend for a Dirt Wheels magazine shoot.Also in the works is a cdi box with an adjustable rev limiter,the prototype is on the DS now and lets it rev to 9000 but the production one will be adjustable.
