just thinking a head for when my engines done!
can anyone suggest the best carbs to put on an 350 f2 engine? I want to get a good mix of speed and mpg (lol yeah i know its a 2 stroke glug glug!) or are the standard ones the best?
What would the recomendations be! proven too work idea's please not just maybe idea's lol
and how much roughly are these carbs?
Cheers fella's!

The best carbs for the LC or valve are the TZR or KR1 28mm flat sides. But the old RGV and RD400E carbs are allso good . TZ carbs are allso good if the motor is very tuned .

£60 is about right for a good set any less and your doing ok . But i have seen them go for £80 , that would be a shop price for a set.

The bottom ones wont link but i think they are are of a 2 up 1 side model and wont be any good . they have to be of the old 1 each side type.
I think i know who is selling the tzr carbs .

so the top one's will be good?
just out of wonderment, why are the carbs different depending where the exhausts are, i dont understand why they'd need too be? or is it just a whole different engine set up?

The 2 up 1 side carbs are a solanoyd carb and are very dificalt if not imposable to get to run right i have 2 sets of the bottom ones i would do at £30 a set to any rgv boy who wanted them . But as far as i know to get them to work on a non solanoyd bike you have to rezin up something . and have a general mess with them to get them to work , and they are a lot biger . to big for a regular lc or valve .

In my humble opinion i would not tune a lc or a valve . I would put on things that make it go better with no down side. Tuning makes the ports bigger and gives more ware on the rings due to this. You can make your bike go very fast with pipes and a few other things. Just wate and see how much better nuttytarts bike runs with what she had it will be like a diferent bike and the barrels havent been touched at all . If she sets up the tzr carbs right ther is no reason why it should be any more unreliable at all. Save your money on a tune and bling it up. You cant see a tune can you.

No but she had the lot . Racing reeds carbon ones not regular fiber ones. formula race pipes. Lightened flywheel, reed spacers, boost bottle. and afew other bits and bobs. But i can tell you when it all go's on it will be a diferent bike .

Vinze is interested beyond belief  what do the formula race pipes look like mate? Ive very interested in high up exhaust though but think they might hamoer proformance  |

oh yes! can't wait to get it all together - the pipes look good - nice and fat - none of that skinny long end bit - but of course they need coating (bare metal) so i'm just deciding what with - vht paint - zircotec (very hard wearing) - or ceramic.
i'll prob do the other bits while i'm deciding
