Thats what I thought too , but when you look at it closely , you will see that the right port opens to the entire valve train . Before this all started , my tech and I were standing around an debating the options . He's been a moto tech for 40 years and has seen just about everything . He says '' just block the smaller port '' , and we did , with some plastic cap . installed the carb , and it fired up without a single hesitation . We will machine a proper plug next week . I will see if I can get it properly tuned by friday . I will post a few pics on thursday to give you guys an idea of how and what .den wrote:STANIMAL wrote:I just started experimenting with a single carb . I got a mikuni off an XR 650 .

I will get an old radiator hose for an intake boot and just feed it into the airbox . I want all of my mods to be reversible , dont like to butcher rare parts .den wrote:genius
