I would have left the support rod. Nothing wrong with it. Most of the people who were saying it looked like a screwdriver probably don't know how to make things out of steel. Nice work!
nice setup, dont think your going to have as much a lag problem as just not as much bottom end, but will get more top end, cant wait till you make some noise,,
The carb atomizes the fuel, mixes it with the incoming air, then it's pulled through the intake in a "cloud" (the only way I can describe it). The vacuum is made by the piston sucking in the air/fuel mixture. There should be no pooling of fuel, if there is I would start by playing with the main jet size or try to get more air into it. Like mustie1 said, there will be a change where the power comes on, usually the longer intake pushes it up in the rpm. Hope that helps.How bout a pic of the bike
The length and shape of the inlet manifold will change the power curve,maybe power/torque. It all looks sweet to me. Hope the project works out. And lets hear it running sometime soon. Thanks.
Thanks.Your right about the power band shift but unlike a car where there are multiple runners, these single jobs do create a small lag. Usually jetting will take care of most of it.
The last intake I made on my mini bike had 1-2 leaks but put jb weld on the weld an pained over looked good me an my son still drive the nabbers mad. But I dig ur intake looks cool
badass!! also like where you relocated the speedometer! my fat ass couldn't have it there but looks badass definitely wana attempt to replicate your intake idea just not sure how much clearance ill have on the factory Frame I've customized mine quite a bit and been focusing on intake for awhile how's it fit as far as leg room?
thanks for the video, I'm not planning on repositioning my carburator but i do need to find a way to mount an air filter and the small 250 i'm working on doesn't have room under the tank for a pod filter so i have to mount it to the side of the bike.
I like what you did, but you should know this: Radiator hose doesn't like gasoline. It will get hard and brittle in a year or two of regular riding. I did this to fit an Evo CV carb to my 64 model Harley-Davidson in the mid 1990s. Mind you my piece was longer, and more was exposed to the gas/air. So, although it is a few bucks more, gas tank filler neck hose WILL handle the gas. You can buy it at most auto parts stores. Just a little FYI. Neat bike!
Michael Bailey unfortunately I never got the chance to try it as I had to sell the bike due to a divorce. I powdered coated mind to make sure it was completely sealed and I suggest you do the same.
@@redddragon6161 sincerely out of curiosity, why did you need to sell a hacked up ls650? I mean how does something maybe a $1000 tops! change the dynamics of a divorce?
Not sure this will work. Looks like fuel has to travel upward and further into the cylinder. Doesn't look like it would be too healthy for the combustion mixture. Doubt it will be able to tune it or even run especially with the CV carb.

Good stuff Dragon. I like the clean, clean welding and the ingenuity of creating your own manifold. Enjoying the updates!
Love the carb setup

Pretty cool! I wired my decomp to my horn switch(no horn)... starts like a dream!

The worst thing you can do is increase the distance from the carb to the intake valve.

Like the intake!! Can't wait to hear it run!! Later....
Did ur carb manifold work good was in the process of building one almost just like urs but wanted to make sure it works good befor i make it

AH Garage alright thanks for the info
UPDATES! I wanna see updates! hahah. Looks awesome so far, man.
Looks good. Better hurry summer is coming quick.
NICE! really gave me an idea.
looks really good
Looks really cool.
That is lookin bad ass man
how can that brace on the carb work?
What carb did you use and where did you get it?
Gerard Pineau ... original carb
Did this increase your low end torque???
Unfortunately I never got a chance to find out, had to sell because of a divorce!
You should have sold her instead of the bike.
@@patrickwalsh6873 lol.... Eventually I did both!!! Lol.

awsome job .

Actual that design was scrapped and a different one made which worked quite well.
@@redddragon6161 I will need to find that video. I'm going to put an aftermarket carb on a Savage and looking at different ideas.
4:06 what it does?
???
+GAR A compression release ,eases starting , holds exhaust valve open temporarily.
I don't think that having the carburator lower to the cilinder port is a good idea, i always see carburetor s at the same or over port of entrance.
