Yep...

:flipoff2: '67 Datsun 2000 (hmm, no air filters insures you do a rebuild every season).

For OFF ROAD... find a decent EFI system. :)

They don't like bouncing/washboard. Angles didn't seem to be a problem though. :D

And your opinion on why?.... :)
I'm actually trying to decide on running this setup for awhile, or swapping in a 7MGTE. Only problem is, I have another project that could use the 7M more.....

Ewwwwwwwwww, Mikuni on a dirt bike (fantastic on my jet skis). Those things are so difficult to tune correctly. I swap out the Mikuni carbs for Keihin carbs on my dirt bikes. Keihin carbs are much easier to tune and dial in.

I like the Bing carb on my KTM for dirt; the Mikuni CV's on my Duc didn't seem to control the slide and needle position well enough on bumps - but that may have been related to the extra-light slide spring it needed to run right with an open-top K&N, Aero pipes, and bigger main jets.
