I might have to have a look at this and see if it can be done?
I have tried looking on google for any good pictures of carbs to see if its possible, but not much luck?
Has any one done any work on carbs to know if this would be the case or is there just too much in the way internally? to get a clear view?
Its either that or wait til next week to get it dyno'd

Sorry, but won't work.

The plunger (sure the name is wrong, but sod it) needs a vacuum on the engine side to draw it up, and allow fuel past the needles. All the throttle does is open a butterfly valve that increases the area, hence air/fuel flow into the engine.

Put it this way - if it weren't for the plunger, you could flood the engine by twisting the throttle with the motor off. And you won't get anything like a good enough view through to check washers.

My advice? Find a local foccer with a 600, and ask them to ride your bike. They'll know what a full power 6 should feel like! Plus, free!

Thought the restrictor might be on the air box side. It was just a thought.


Pretty sure it's called the slide, but I like plunger better! LOL

A thought indeed, but no, it restricts total flow. If not, you could in theory flood the engine while riding.

Like I said - on the slide, couldn't be arsed to double check!  You knew what I meant, ergo, mission accomplished!  :lol
