Topic: Pods and carb drupe

[nerfherder81]

Any one with pod air filters, have issues with carb drupe? Any solutions?

Sometimes the solution is not pods at all. It is very hard to improve upon the factory airbox design and make any more power with it. Pods and/or exhaust changes will require different jetting and carb tuning.

I believe he would be talking about the fact that with pods, the back of the carb is not supported by the air box and thus they *droop* down from their own weight.

I'm sure it would not be that hard to build some type of bracket to hang them from the frame.

IW- I am planning to make a carb support. I've seen alot of builds with pods and was curious how other have delt with it, or compensated. I read one post were someone just lowered the fuel level in the bowl and lowered the needle a clip.

ps thanks for your pod friendly reply.

I have not run pods myself but I am aware of some of the battles around here regarding them. lol

Personally, I wouldn't try to compensate my tune for drooping carbs. That seems hack to me.
