UFO or alternative for stock CV Carb?? (Lancer?)
10/25/11 at 10:09:56

HEY GUYS,

I hope I'm not beating a dead horse here...
Tearing down my $250 donor Savage to build a vintage style roadster (A-La Ryca, but more old school.) My buddy who's doing the build and I came across Lancer's post about the UFO carb mod that he did on his Mikuni VM carb. I know it says they are NOT for the stock CV carbs, but I am curious?

Is that just because Thunder Products just doesn't make one?
Or is it because the principle doesn't really apply to the CV carb?

My mechanic is intrigued by the idea, and interested in adapting the idea to the stock carb; even if just to see what happens. He wanted me to put it out to you guys to see what you all think....

Any thoughts, Lancer? Anyone else tried this?

No matter what happens with the carb...

My friend is working on the carb, so I haven't even seen it in person since he's taken it apart, but he wanted me to ask! I'll be in touch when we see what the cam chain tensioner looks like! Cheers!
