Don't buy one till you talk to Lancer.
Think they are all the same just different covers
Mine is the older white cover

Ive changed my mind have decided that im going to get a weisco 94mm piston and stage 3 cam. My question in regards to carbs is, has anyone gotten a vm and either regretted it or preffered the feel of the cv? Thank you to everyone who has posted so far, i really appreciate it!

You haven't even tried a spacer mod on the CV carb, but your ready to rebuild the entire top end of the bike ? I hope you're knowledgeable .Good Luck!

I've got one of those high-comp pistons sitting on my desk next to me. I've had it a bout a year - waiting for an opportune time to do the swap. It'll be my first project of that nature (I just got in touch with a local engine rebuilder who can hone the cylinder for me).
Having said that, the piston does look so very very shiny and nice!!

I have 3 1995's and one has the VM, I do not see any reason to go back to the stock carb other than to reduce the responsiveness of the throttle. This bike also had IntelaJet installed after about 6 months of the VM by the employee that rides it due to the altitude changes where the bike is.

Having an appropriately sized and good flowing exhaust system I find to be an important component in insuring that the engine runs smoothly accelerating or decelerating. My engine does not backfire (shotgun blast) but it does crackle & pop on decel and that sound I love. To me, that is a healthy sound.

Do you find that it's still possible to get a somewhat smooth acceleration? Or is that all down to throttle control? Also i'm a little concerned about flooding the engine, or is that not a concern? Thanks!

A properly set up engine should have none of the problems you describe. Flooding is when carb is too rich...way too rich.

I get smooth acceleration, the only thing is just the nature of a round slide carb without an accelerator pump, and that is the brief pause when going from idle to WO instantly on the grip. It just is. No biggie though, I can get and go as quick as needed. I am a senior but I’m one that enjoys a healthy, good handling, hard accelerating, and responsive ride. That is fun.
As mentioned, flooding is not a issue.
