The pursuit for a brown sparkplug
-
@calum yeah it's mainly for the fuel consumption and the hassle of fitting a new carb that stops me from doing it. I'm essentialy only after a strong, reliable DT. I won't be able to beat my friends gasgas 125 and husaberg etc. Not even with zeel, bigger carb, and a fat exhaust.

That top pic is lean as looking at the picture it looks melt down lean, does look like its dragging air in somewhere looking at that but also sounds like its overfueling at the topend if it wont pull at the topend which is a contradiction on its own. Strange one though as they usually rev on there own if they are dragging air in somewhere.

You need to start at the bottom and work through mid to top. If u want to improve the guttless bottom remove the snorkel and dial out the bork with experimenting with pilots and the mixture screw till u get it sweet take no notice of people who say dont, that just because they cant set it up. Then move to the mid with the needle stock seems ok. The main only comes into play at 3 quarter throttle anyway.

@scrimsmustang she runs mint and lulls hard up to 3/4. That's when nothing really happens.

The Aprilia RS 125 SP, or Aprilia AF1 125 Sport Pro run a Dellorto PHBH28 RD 28mm carb. This carb together with a Gianelli exhaust, gives more than 2HP extra power over the 34mm carb version! More than 35hp at rear wheel...
The DT 200R makes 33 bhp and uses a Mikuni TM28SS carb so do not always need a bigger carb for more power, but a well set up carb with jetting spot on 100%. -
@2stroketerry The RS's quoted to make 33BHP ran the VHSB carb. They later restricted the bikes to 26 BHP and used the PHBH.
I don't know the models which used the VHSB, but certainly the SP would have.
-
Small update, fitted my restrictor and landed on a 270 main. She runs better than ever. Sadly I lost my kickstart nut during testing.
Funeral held tomorrow.

@irongamer727 Standard, yeah either loctite it or make sure it's properly tightened.

33 at the crank maybe no way at the rear wheel lol, a crm125 makes 29 but even after a dynojet session the best ive seen is 21.4 at the wheel on the dyno. 21.4 is about what an old 89 DTR makes at the crank lol. A well setup carb is good
