Bill Jepson,
What about the tube slide throttle that Harley Davidson use? Is there any
advantage in this type of set-up?
I guess it's similar as yours and Paul's suggestion, would there be any
advantage in sliding it back and forth rather than around?
Back and forth could be sprung, then again having it go around could have
bearings as Paul suggested.
I guess your both saying the whole plenum would be your slide throttle?
tube
in tube would be simpler!

Yes George the entire plenum would be the rotating barrel for the
throttle. Not sure of what your refering to on the harley. The typical
motorcycle carb has used a round slide throttle. The reason was for
carberation reasons, which would require a LOOOOONG explaination here. I
havent seen anything beside the carb slide or butterfly throttle though
George. Have any pictures?

Hi Bill and George (DU) int. al.
take a look at the Mikuni HSR 42 and 45 mm flat slide carbs used as a
replacement for Harley carbs. They have the slide running on rollers.
See it at Sudco.com
That barrel idea makes it difficult to mount trumpets on the inlets!

Thanks Dave,
Just looking at everything!
I think they were shown here recently - I have a vague memory. Is that what
Don Dunbar is using?
