Could somebody confirm the product number for the JJK, JJM needles? I think I they were 017-188, 017-182. Mrriggs, did you order direct from the sudco site?
Just thought that I would jump in here and say that this carb thread has been the best I have read. Just data no attitudes or bad temper flare ups, nice to see. Another tip of the hat going out to Riggs for the great deal on the rephase cam I just bought from you off of eBay. Great deal. I am new here and I am loving it.
But the real question, Mr. Rigs is: After all of this work you have done (which I thank you for posting) have you noticed a considerable upgrade in performance vs. the previous stock carbs?
ive heard rumor that these carbs are a chinese knock off. from the person i heard this from, id tend to believe him. though it is possible they are legit. these tempted me for a bit, but ill stick with my round slides.
MrRiggs, I want to congratulate you on somewhat sorting these carbs. I'll admit that @ $299 a set, I was even tempted to buy a set. Boy, am I glad I didn't bite into that rotten apple. Honestly, for the money spent, I would just buy the Delortos. That's a real good, honest carb, not hard to tune, and not made anywhere else but Italy as far as I know.
