hey guys whats the different letters in dellorto carbs mean?
ive got a 16mm sha
how does this compare to a 19mm phbg?
thinking of getting a metra kit and wondering if the 16 sha will give all i can get out of it.
what does sha mean?
what does phgbmean?
phbg ,as ,or ds?
what do the measure in mm a measument of?
do you like pb&j?
search.
SHA is very common on stock peds. It has one jet, and is not tune able, but reliable and easy.
PHBG is a different carb with needles, slides, main, pilot, idle jets, air/fuel mixture screws and much more. Better for kits and fancy bikes because you can adjust it endlessly, but only a hand full of people on this website can actually do it.
^nailed it
and, the sha is a flat slide. and it has a mixture screw on the bigger models. which makes up for the needle
So what's a good carb for an idiot(newbie) to use for a kit(or in general)? Is Bing the way to go or not?
bing is simplistic. Many guys on here run bings on their very fast kitted peds.
How do the measurements compare is a 16 mm sha like a 19 phgb?
do you like pb&j?
How the different measurements compare:
16.16 SHA has a 16mm opening through the carb for the gas and/or air to flow through.
19 PHBG has a 19mm opening through the carb for the gas and/or air to flow though.
That would make the PHBG what, like, almost 20% bigger or something? And the size, of course, is in addition to what everyone else already told you about tuneablilty and variables.
So no, a 16 SHA is NOT like a 19 PHBG.
You could also try checking the wiki for stuff like this....
