Installed Weber tall studs for the velocity stacks, filters and linkage as well as Weber flathead screws to replace the JIS screws. My washer as a spacer/shim idea on the accelerator pump seems to be working. I have a symptom similar to the dreaded "flat/dead spot" of a mechanical advance only distributor, but it appears to fuel related during the idle to main switchover. I believe my idles are slightly too large and this causes a momentary over fueling on throttle. Made it on its first ethanol free Sheetz run with the new carbs without hiccup, the responsiveness compared to the factory dual 32/34 PDSIs is amazing.

Pros: amazing responsiveness

Cons: fuel related flat spot

I would 100% go 1.8, I have had 4 mk2’s with 1.8 and I got all of them running easy. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend going with the carb’Ed version. As all four of the 1.8 cars I have had major issues with the k-jet-tonic/cis-e system and the parts are nearly impossible to find, at least here in the states. And if you do find them they cost more than the engine. I run dual Weber 40 carbs which are worth the initial cost investment.

Pros: easy to get running

Cons: parts nearly impossible to find

I modded my Wolf V50 from stock to 72cc. Performance carb w/ foam intake cylinder, larger jets and performance exhaust. Went from struggling to hit 30-35MPH and now cruises at 40MPH easy. I live in a hilly area so the extra power went a long way. Haven't had a single issue for three years now.

Pros: extra power, cruises easy

That's a special piece of kit. Full-on gp bike. I had an RS125R back in the day. Here are some things that bike DOESN'T have that makes it all the more awesome. Lights, a speedometer, a starter motor, a kickstart, a kickstand, or a thermostat (mine didn't anyway). These bikes are finicky, need frequent total or partial motor rebuilds, and need the carburetors adjusted based on air temperature, humidity, and altitude. They are pure racing machines and they are fucking fantastic!

Pros: pure racing machines, fucking fantastic

Cons: finicky, frequent rebuilds

GM covered any and all adjustments on this carb. You can remove the covers and make adjustments. It is a finicky carb.

Lagi kong issue yung carburetor nya, 2 beses na kami nagpaoverhaul gamit yung repair kit hanggang sa nagpalit na lang kami ng brand new pero taiwan made yata kasi lagi sinisinok na parang laging kapos sa supply ng gas. Nagpalinis na rin kami ng fuel tank baka kasi kinakalawang na tapos nababara na yung fuel filter.

Cons: carburetor issues, fuel supply
