MOPED ARMY

I was going to do that to my rigid. Still might. Brent

No Way! It is the real deal. Unless you did it.

I guess I would run two throttle controls, one on each side, and use just one carb, or one WOT and one half throttle to get better vacuum at lower RPM, and I had thought about doing this myself too. Hah, we all are trying to think of something that those Dutch haven't done yet. I'm assuming this is a picture from overseas, naturally.

Looks nice.

And Elliot, 2x 12mm carb isn't 24mm. It's about surface area.

So: Pi R^2 = Pi 6^2 = 113mm2 per carb = 226mm2 for 2.

Then you get (root(226/pi))*2= 16.9mm

So basicly two 12mm carbs are 17mm combined.

And I don't know if it has any advantages. Sure looks cool.

Of course we don't know the CC's or other specs.

I had a 1974 Peugeot car w/ dual carbs, second one kicked in at higher rpms worked w/ vacuum control.

Climbed up hills like a goat...

smells fishy

awe man no 24mm carb yeah now that i think about it you can't make a 24mm hole out of 2 12mm holes o well i guess it is pointless.

i'd rather concetrate on other pointless things:

Power is in my muscles.

actually the advantage to run multiple carbs is that you can have them working out of phase wif eachother so you can get a better fuel flow curve the same way that 4 barrel carburators work on a old v8 engine where you have primary bore which is pretty anemic for power and the huge secondarys that flow like it is dying of thirst..

true, now if we hooked rafter up to a giant wheel that used some sort of dual carb setup to feed him protein shakes i think the calulation of musle to moped ratio would.........

tommy are u building this or what cuz now i want to do it on my puch.

Well I guess the secrets out my new project. Step one obtain a Mike Rafter, Step three Speed. Eh....what was step two again??

Seriously though I was thinking the same thing about having a smaller "starter/idle" carb and a Main carb but it might just be easier to adapt some pre-existing 2 barrel carb to fit. For the linkage i was thinking that a setup sort of like a cable operated parking brake works but with one adjusted to open before the other. Or you could just make the second one vacuum controlled like a good old holley.

you could convert a choke switch to throttle control that could even double as cruise control for long voyages.. But theoretically one big (15% smaller than the intake port according to Jennings right?) variable venturi carb shouldn't really have too much problem maintaining velocity if you open it up slowly right?

Would be easy enough to run a left hand side as a throttle to control the second carb

It can be done,

im running two 12-14s one runs liquid RC nitro fuel controled by the foot lever and the other carb is gas.

The nitro tank.
