Hi,
Who knows the required strength of the carb slide(?) spring of a 36mm dellorto.
I can buy different types of 1.1 to 1.4 kg
The carb slide will be directly connected to the throttle cable.
Thanks in advance
Joep

Re: Dellorto spring above the slide
I think that with 2 carbs the combined force of 2 springs is very tough ( they are known for it ) so you have the option of lighter springs for dual carbs ( on some bikes these springs are the only throttle return springs ) and , I spose if your cables are short and well routed you could save yourself some wrist action and go for the lighter springs

Re: Dellorto spring above the slide
I bought the lighter springs, and quickly followed with making new cables. All works wonderfully.
If there is one carb, and its on a dirt bike, the stiffer spring makes more sense. But trying to hold open that stiff throttle on a street bike will pump up your forearms in a short time.

If your into making throttle cables a good cheap way is to buy mountain bike type gear cables and modify them. The better quality ones are still way cheaper than buying cable by the metre

Re: Dellorto spring above the slide
Good tip Hamish. I used to make all my own cables but it's too much effort to track down the components these days, but mountain bike stuff is cheap and readily available.Mc tool wrote:If your into making throttle cables a good cheap way is to buy mountain bike type gear cables and modify them.
