I've got a complete scat 1915 with c45 cam straight cut gears, 1.25 rockers, 041 heads with 40x35.5 valves, 1 5/8 exhaust, petronix ignition! I'm running a single hpmx 44 at the moment with no problems just want the response of the duals!
Whats your opinions the 40;s or 44's want the the best performance! Thanks

The 40's would be your best bet if your really set on going to duals. If you really want to wake it up on the low end I would suggest changing the cam to something smaller and going to an 1-1/2" header

Dual 44's that way you can jet the carbs to where it can run the 1915, if you go bigger, you can always jet the carbs to where it can run a big stroker, I believe the 44's are more flexible to use than 40's IMO.......

this is what i would do, ive got a 1915 with cb 044 heads and a vz15 cam with 1 5/8 tri mill and i have ran weber 40's and 44's and really couldnt tell much if any difference on the bottom side while trail riding and when climbing hills i usually dont cut it no slack so its not down around idle very much climbing

You will definitely feel the bottom end difference and more response with the 1 1/2" header. 40 duals with the right venturii and jets are plenty big enough all the way up to a 2500 for the woods. If u get Empi hpmx's, consider getting them thru Southern Buggies. They have an internal fuel bleed problem that Tim can fix right up before he ships them to you.

40 or 44 if your going to buid a big eng. in a year i would get 44 and put 32 venturies and 6'' velocity stacks. but 40 will work good to .

I was curious if the 6" stacks really made a difference that you could feel. CB claims up to 15% hp increase. Sounds VERY far-fetched to me. Any body tried them ( on an otherwise unchanged motor ) and noticed any difference?
Sorry to thread steal :wink:

Ok guess I'm gonna go with the 40's so I don't have to change ALOT! Anyone recomend what size jets would be good! I run 50/50 93-110 fuel only!

The jets they come with will get you in the ballpark. Just do some plug readings after that. What is the compression ratio of your engine?

The jets i was recommended for my setup....well they ran about as good as a dog with no legs. When i went back to the buggy shop and told them wat i wanted they said i was crazy and it wouldnt run lol But what i have runs great. Ima be tearin the carbs down to clean them, ina day or two. Ill let ya know what i have, maybe get you a little closer. Either way plan on spendin some $$$$ on jets to get it right :wink: :wink:

For my eng. 40 where a little lean .When to 145 or 150 mains. Air cleaner and velocty stacks and fuel pressure 3psi will all play a part.

I think 135 mains and the pumps will be close. I would lower the floats a little for off road.

Well you all know I am a EFI guy, but I do love how much everybody chips in knowledge for a guy when he needs it. Lets make sure that nothing changes this, it's the backbone of the site. Good luck with the new toys!
