Hey yall,
I was reading the thread that a-camp started about the dial-a-jet and it got me to thinking...Do any of you ever remember reading in Motocross Action Magazine or maybe Dirtbike or Dirtwheels Magazine an article they did about taking a Harley Davidson Carb part and drilling a dirtbike carb to fit the H/D part into the dirtbike carb to make it like fuel injection? I know it sound's crazy, but I remember the article said you no longer needed to change jet's for different altitude's or track conditions, weather conditions, etc...I remember they said the part was like $75.00 from H/D and you could install it on any dirtbike, quad, or trike if you didn't mind drilling your carb. If I remember right, the only part you really drilled was the nut on the bottom of the bowl, and the part went through the nut or something. If any of you have any old bike mags it should probably be in one of the '90 or '91 mags. I know that's not a lot to go on, but I know a lot of you guy's get snowed in up north and this could keep you from getting cabin fever and just may save your life!! :D Sorry about the long post but I was hoping somebody would remember. It might be what this dial-a-jet thingy is based off of.
Thank's,
