So, I'm shopping carbs. It would seem that the dellorto 15.15 costs more than the 16.16. Is this just supply and demand? I know the 15.15 is very popular, I also can't see this 1mm bore difference being a big deal. OR is the 15.15 a better engineered unit? They look the same on paper other than bore. Any thoughts? Thanks!
15 is more expensive simply because of higher demand.
Are they the same type? SHA vs PHBG
both SHA
well thats just dumb.
Honestly, I think that is a weird way to price it. I ahve seen them for same cost lots of places and I sell them for the same cost. The dealer cost for a 15.15 IS higher than a 16.16 though. In terms of performance it is the same, I mean on most setups it will be more efficient to use a 15.15 though becuase if you need a 16, go with a PHBG...much much better carb.
A lot of the off the shelf intakes are just 15mm so if you opt for a 16 you want to have either made your own intake or grind out the 15 intake
yea thats what i was thinking... 15mm intakes arent really _that_ abundant, and i rarely see 16mm intakes so that would maybe make the 16mm carb slightly less useful? Ive still been thinking of getting the 16 SHA though, just cause its cheaper.
Thats what I use on 50s with no metering problem. Used one on a 70cc RGD with no probs. It is possible to adjust idle and mid range using micro drills on the bottom two orifices as you look in the throat. I write this as a public service to my fellow cheapskates and really for all but the most balls out engine configs these carb are very versatile
only use a 3 jet carb set up.. why waste with a 1 jet carb..
Fuel injection is the absolute you wiennies
