Thought I'd start a new topic/continuation of the PWK manifold thread
Recently fitted a 30mm PWK style carb (actually a Polini CP)
with no filter I had the carb setup and running very sweetly in about an hour. No mean fit for a amateur like me
text book plug colour, no bog in any throttle position
All went to rat s**t when I fitted a breath sweet filter, using a 50mm BGM hose with a drain
It refused to hot start without a bump, despite dropping the pilot to 30!!
Trawling some US site's I found one comment 'PWK's don't like boot's on them'. I don't think this statement applies to 24mm PWK's as I have seen images and real life running standard airbox
I PM'd with someone on the LCGB forum who told me they had difficulties also, and I spoke with someone whose setup a few on his dyno and confirmed the same
I think the issue is the 30mm needs so much air, with panels fitted there isn't the space to fit a hose big enough
interesting that a PHBH can run a remote with panels
I assume this is down to slide shape difference and efficiencies
anyone offer any opinion/advise?
