Paul,

This carb discussion has been very interesting.

I must admit I thought your idea for a DIY slide throttle carb was a
good one when you first brought it up. At the time I suggested going
with a bunch of small holes for better atomization, like the Ellison.

In fact I suggested that we use the spray bar like the Ellison, but you
didn't like it at the time because of the flow restriction -- you wanted
to go with drilling fuel holes in the teflon.

I remember thinking about drilling those tiny holes in that small tube.
I realized it would not be easy -- and now we know that it is a major
hurdle.

If we look at the cost of this DIY project, it will add up to several
hundred dollars. Why bother when you can get two motorcylce carbs and
have a proven leaning system?

So now your alternative to this is a computer-based system? I don't get
the logic. If one decides to go with carbs because one does not want to
be dependent on electrical for fuel delivery -- how does a computer fit
into this?

Or is the objective purely money? If it is, then again I have to point
out that even with a DIY computer you will not be saving that much money
over two motorcycle carbs.

And as we always see when we start to actually carry an idea through to
the development stage, some unexpected hurdle always arises.

Regards,

Gordon.
