RT 1000 carbconversion

Member Gus Bohne has been using carbs on his I believe. I thought Crankshop may've been playing with the idea also. As far as tuning your pipes, are you running the 2 into 1 muffler or the twin stingers? Do you have the later spec'd dimension pipes? The twins can run well if all is okay with the motor, fuel, timing, raves, etc.

If you're not running good with a single, then it's not the pipes causing your problem rather the twins are magnifying the underlying issue. Have you had your injectors cleaned and flow tested? Fuel pump? Which low press fuel pump are you running? Rather than going to carbs, I'd be trying to diagnois why your sled doesn't run well with the single.

rave cables?

Myself and Craig Marchbank have done many conversions both with pies and turbos.
You must change to the harness and ignition from any carbed rev also.

The gains are big, the tuning is simple and the bang for the buck is worth every penny.

You can get the 7 degree or 10 degree carb adapters from the crankshop or Craig. you can also use the sdi 600 boots for large carbs.

What map are you running? Many have had trouble with aftermarket pipes and ended up swaping back to the stock pipe. IF you can get it tuned to run with pipes then it's worth it but that seems to be a big IF.

The only way I see to deal with the RAVES is to pin them open and I for one don't think the gain on the top would be worth the loss down low. If you were a flat lander then it would be workable, but I need the grunt to pull from off idle WOT when in the steep trees we run here in PNW. Heck the strong bottom end is the RT1000 strong point.

Do you have a T-stat, installed? Are you running an air box? Some have found that they could not get them tuned without the airbox's but you'll still need the filters.

I don't see carbs paying off unless you are adding a turbo or you ride in areas were you only need top end to large shutes or to go fast across the lake. Of course I understand the benifits the carbs bring to bottom end wash down and lubrication but this is a runability issue.
