Carb issues

Post by viper1 »

I was reading the CV carb swap but it got off topic.....my question is can you use a set of 750 or 900 SS carbs on the Paso? I still have the stock carb on the bike and it runs like shit! I cleaned it once and ran good and now running like crap again. I would like to find a set of Super Sport cards and toss them on there.....any thoughts?

It was born with a weber ,and it can be improved upon but if you really want to "up" carb your motor , font duck about, go for the 39 FCR kit :)

be sure to check the voltage at the coils and CDI units and the wiring mod.
Regarding the Mikunis check the FAQs.

Yeah , that was pretty much my plan .... till I crashed the SS . Its al lot easier if you have the whole set up , working, to pilfer Probly the only things may be the length of the throttle cables and a bit of a fiddle with the jets , depending on what sort of air cleaner set up you use . :)

Can I suggest to have a look to my suggestions about balancing your weber?

little suggestion from one who has been riding with the weber for the last 28 years.
I already posted this somewhere else in the forum anyway, anyway, may be it can help
Air filter box removed and replaced with a homemade one using a Fiat abarth metallic air filter
fuel screws open by 720° (small adjustment then but it is a good starting point).
Then i connected the 2 holes in both side of carb base together with an alluminium tube, (you can use a fuel hose)
Apart from the advantage of smooth running, you can regulate carb settings only by removing a side fairing.
No need to remove fuel tank.
