[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 186472, member: 98"] reading all the info you posted ...its more a sales pitch than specs id say ...1200 carbs are the smallest of all oldwings carbs made there simply not 32mm at the slides like the 75-77 carbs are ...the carb and the valve are on the suction side of things and yes you will get more speed of flow here but with less volume ...but this was never the problem of the so so low end torque on oldwings ...it was always the cv carbs and there late acting operation ...being the worse at low motor speed ....many have put on SCC car carbs and felt the increased low end torque as the biggest plus ...anyway if there any extra lift id say it from the rocker and extra lift over what ...1100 cams ..78-79 1000 cams or 75-77 1000 cams ..there all different ...i personally have used all the cams in the same motor ...there no doubt in my mind that the early 75-77 cams are the ones the oldwing motor likes the best .....in my opinion ..it is also my opinion the oldwing motor likes strait carbs over CV carbs ...even more so than the cam differences ... any hooched out 1200 with strait carb will blow away anything honda did with the oldwing motor big time .....plain and simple [/QUOTE]
