Jon
I am leaning in that direction,but if your front and rear cam timing is on the outside range of acceptable it has a big effect on jetting as it will cause two decidedly different flow rates between the two sides of the weber. Perhaps we should release it now with just a mention of the importance of cam timing and amend it later. We could always just point out Kens work as a prelude to getting your weber spot on.( I have invited him to add to our doc) We already have plans to add a 750 section later down the road .One question for you, do you think it is too big for the 906Tech Faq? Perhaps we should find a place to host it and provide a link if it is too large for Mike to host it. Oh and I am aware I tend to go on and on in technical matters. At work,they have put a patent on my phrase,"I'll have to look into it and get back to you" Any one else says I'll have to look has to put 10 cents in a kitty and the proceeds go towards our group functions, We have a lot of group functions
Sowaddayathink? Release or hold off?

Re: Weber or Dellorto/Mikuni; Final Answer?!
Most would agree that the Dell's are a nice upgrade, but this document is about fixing the Weber to run as good as it can and hopefully avoid the fitting of Dellorto's. For folks that can find them or don't want to or don't have the skills, this paper is a fabulous instruction on how to fix the Weber to bring 100% pleasure to riding the Paso.whitepaso wrote:I vote Dellortos. 38's on mine currently and never an issue.

Re: Weber or Dellorto/Mikuni; Final Answer?!
Seems there is a big split between riders who like aftermarkets and those who like the Weber. As for me, I have decided to try higgy's mods to the Weber and see what happens. The monetary investment is minimal anyway...
But if it's a wash, then Dell's could be my next move.

Re: Weber or Dellorto/Mikuni; Final Answer?!
OK guys...... what are the mods. My Paso runs fine but has a flat spot at about 4000-5000 rpm..... starts great, runs great on open throttle or lower rpm, will do 126mph (indicated) on top (redline)..... but that flat spot bugs me
... now my 750 Sport runs GREAT all the time (thanks Wayne)....

Re: Weber or Dellorto/Mikuni; Final Answer?!
with the 750 Paso you need a little different setup than the 906. PM me and I'll provide more details on what up so far with 750 paso mods. Also the state of your airbox and exhaust makes a huge difference in where you should start out
