[QUOTE="falconav8r, post: 152195, member: 4392"] Just an update on a single carburetor conversion. I know there are some positive as well as negative reviews regarding these conversions , but just wanted to share my experience with a recent install. I just helped a friend install one last week. A VW 34 PICT3 on a SC Conversion manifold. He never got it running quite right, so I rewired all his connections, sealed all connections with a little silicon and re-adjusted the carb.These systems are really not plug and play, so to speak and while the 34 PICT3 is a carb that will work great, takes some fine tuning and as I found out, a little ingenuity. The engine started nice and had to adjust the idle on the air volume screw and achieved a 950 rpm idle when it warmed. There was a bit of bogging from 1500 - 2500 rpm and discovered that this carb was supplying way to much air. I taped the inside of the air cleaner with aluminum tape, starting with about 1/2 restriction and after a few test runs ended with a third more of the intake blocked. Unbelievable difference! The engine pulled hard, no hesitation, and ran smooth thru 6500 rpm! Also I adjusted the accelerator pump which helped alot when the throttle was cracked.This leads me to believe that it is a re jetting issue on this carb which isn't a big deal. IMHO this conversion would work a lot better with a 30 PICT carb which would eliminate those issues. All in all, very happy with the conversion on this bike. [/QUOTE]
