Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
Love to see it working out ..
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
the starting clutch was my last hangup, so I said fuck it and made something work.
it's not ideal, and I'm gonna work out a better solution at some point, but it'll do for now
it required putting another hole in the frame, but this frame is so hacked up already, I'm ok with it
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
I would have preferred the lever to be on the non throttle side, but the kill switch is over there. it works well enough where it's at and isn't super awkward to use, so it gets the "good enough" stamp (edited)
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
Tight. I can't wait to hear it run.
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
first start was super lean, shut it down. one of the carbs wasn't getting gas. took out the little banjo bolt screens from both carbs and that did the trick.
here's 2nd start, but first time running
and a couple more
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
I can't go ride it right now to see about tuning and whatnot, but soon!
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
Nice! Sounds mean. purple pain is gonna haul ass.
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
Snordley has a problem on his twins going from one petcock to a splinter where one carb would drain and the fuel flow would favor one carb over the other. You may have to make a twin line petcock or maybe some sort of auxiliary tank with two outlets for it to function properly. (edited)
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
yeah, we'll see. so far it seems happy. these are little 14mm bings, so they don't demand a lot of fuel really. the lines are pretty even too, rather than having one carb fed before the other.
but now i gotta get a new throttle tube cos two bing springs was just too much for this wps tube
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
Just read this.....amazing work, color me impressed, LOVE the lamp pull chain! I would never have thought of any of this, so cool to see it being made. Keep the thread going, want video of you riding this thing when it's done!
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
One petcock won't ever supply fuel equally all the time, it's fluid Dynamics.
Same reason I think Harley is fucking stupid for putting 1 carb on a v-twin. Physics says the rear cylinder will require different jetting than the front. You need two carbs.

I mean, that second cylinder only supplies a small fraction of the power, so it's probably not coincidence they were like "meh"
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
Umm what
That doesn't make any sense

A split right off the tank bung would be best methinks. At least that way you're evenly splitting the reduced flow. I would imagine with 12mm carbs flow reduction wouldn't be a huge concern.

Because the second cylinder fires when the first is still in it's power stroke. It's efficacy in adding power is limited to the back end of it's stroke. This is the reason why the newer A/C HD's can have rear cylinder cutouts and it's no problemo.

Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
keep in mind this is one cylinder with two 14mm bings that work out to be around the equivalent of a single ~20mm carb.
my other maxi, as we as many other maxis out in the world, have no problem feeding 21mm and 24mm carbs on gila kits.
we're also at 7200 feet, everyone runs tiny jets up here. tho I don't think it would be a problem jetting for sea level or lower.

Can I ask what you used to calculate the combined size? I'm planning two 12mm for my Sachs Airsal but maybe I should go 14mm? That being said your kit is WAY more powerful than the airsal.
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
it's just the area of circles, really. a 14mm circle has the area of 615.8mm, 1231.6mm when there's two of them. a 20mm circle has the area of 1256.6mm, so this is more like the equivalent of a 19.8mm carb, but it's close enough to call it 20mm

Okay so my two 12mm are around the size of a 17mm carb. Should be pretty good for this kit actually.

Also it seems you had your formula off a bit for calculation. Looks like you calculated using diameter squared instead of the radius squared.
Shouldn't matter as long as you used that calculation for everything.

Sure, shows what I know.
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
originally I did the math myself using 3.1416 x r², but for the sake of not doing math in the last post I used this online calculator https://www.calcunation.com/calculator/circle-area.php
they say it uses pi x r², but I'm way to lazy to check their maths rn. like you said tho, as long as you use the same forumula everything, it won't matter
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
I wanted to say the calculations bit is tricky at best. Two 12’s do get you about 18.2. I’m tuning a 14.2 and a 15.15 SHA combo at the moment. I really made sure this shit worked before mounting it to the bike. I’m not using bings and I’m not pounding a single intake either. Different slides, pull timing, jets, choke plates. Completely different parameters but I feel for you.
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
Stock class rules don’t say that you can’t have 2 15mm carbs
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
Stock class
Waste of gas
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
So it’s a pr case with a pp cylinder? How fun!
Re: purple pain, full rigid maxi build
I ordered an all aluminum quick pull throttle from amazon to replace the broken wps throttle and it'll be here in a few days. I was thinking about doing a push/pull throttle and rigging up some kind of spring pull assist on the push side, but it's not really that hard to pull the two bings, the plastic just couldn't handle it.
bummer part is I couldn't get it in black or silver unless I wanted to wait for like a month for it to arrive. just red, green, or blue. I got red and it's gonna be super ugly, I may strip the anodizing off.
but whatever, no more broken throttles
