Carb warming pipes
-
Just wondering what you guys think I looking at my options to run a bigger carb do I need to run the carb warmup pipes will I lose anything by looping them together or blanking them? Thanks in advance

I ran my bike for the past year+ of riding without the carb warming pipes and only hooked them back up recently. I wasn't affected by carb icing at all. It's the only bike I've ever seen them on tbh.
@Mightyman thanks mate I only run mine during the warmer weather so guessing I will get away with it if that's the case, just don't want to cook the motor

@andrewj1680 it should have no noticeable affect on the engine at all. Its only there to prevent the carb icing up and getting stuck open in extremely cold weather.

Ideal appreciate the response, opens my options up about what I can put on there I have a 35mm pwk air striker carb I'm wondering if that maybe too much

If you don't use the pipes do they need to be blocked off
Or can they be removed from the carb altogether by warming the carb an removing the pipes so it looks neat
What about the head an thermostat housing can these be blocked off
Does any one have a pic to show how they have done it -

@dan28 Leave the carb alone. But the head will need to be blocked off, or lines looped, else you'll have coolant coming out of the head.
