Project Beast back on track

Those carbs seem to be going for a good price on ebay. I saw them up to $695 the other day, good job. Where did you get those little aluminum choke plungers from?

Well, I finished the VM29 carbs.







But I'm going with VM33's instead! So the 29's are for sale on ebay.

I'll of course need to paint them black and shine them up. OH, will I EVER be done?

Call Sudco Bruce! Ray.

good god you alive and well and posting........

33's

Bruce,
The 33's have a larger spigot at the head than the 29's. Sudco sells the boots you need to mount those carbs to your head.

[first timer]

for fun hold on to the 29's and give both a try, see what works best, maybe even get to a dyno and try both and get some hard numbers.

They bolt right on the 1100 and 1150 sixteen valve. These are the carbs they used in the early days for an upgrade to the CVs.

Well, hopefully the spacing is the same. I can get boots for a larger intake size.

Does he know your head is pre-80?

I was always under the impression that the VM29's and VM33's had the same spacing? I know the 29's fit straight on, no mods needed. I think that you have to modify them if you use them on 1100's and 1150's. But maybe I'm wrong.

I think they fit straight on, But I'm not sure. The reason I bought them is because RapidRay thought they might compliment my mods better. My intake ports have already been ported a bit. I'll see how well they match up to the carbs.

Nice smoothbores Bruce! Do you have to run different intake boots or open up the intake ports to accommodate those 33s?

wow, forget all that. all that tape would suck to do 4 times.

Yeah, kind of a pain. But it only takes me about 15-20 minutes to tape up each one.

And to think that as soon as I'm done with them, they are going on ebay.

I just bought these:
