Best info yet. Thats exactly correct look at those carbs bottom one wont work.. Even with the correct slide it still wont work carb body and internals are different. Air circuit is a little different just need to get the correct carb for $120.00 from any vendor and be done. Where did you get that picture from Geezer thats awesome!!
ok before i even go into anything i wanna first make is super clear
I AM NOT BEING COCKY, ARROGANT, FULL OF MYSELF TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT ETC... this has caught my interest and would like to tech talk.
I personally have never had an issue using the cr85 pe 28 on a lil thumper, hell i don't even change the slide and alot of times will use the cr needles as well and have had good success with it. i know you do alot of your own personal testing have you ever done any back to back testing vs the CR pe28 vs the thumper pe? i am always game for unlocking more hp. i have used both carbs but never done any testing and configurations weren't even close to make a good guess-timation if one seemed to perform better than the other. like i stated previously i personally have never had any issues making the CR pe perform well for me. being i get a stellar deal through my local dealer on them i always use the cr pe when i'm looking to use a pe on one of my builds. so if you have done any comparision work and are willing to share i would love to see the results.
just so you know i'm not blowing smoke up your ass. i still have some proof of i have had good results w/ the CR pe
graph of takegawa 124cc dohc 2 hoes stage 3 kit. which utilized the vm26, 2 hoes exhaust, i used a tokyo mods stage 3 ignition. no mod work such as porting was performed one of the graph lines was w/ timing advancment.
results after mod. the 19.something line is the line of the dyno video. the following day i change cam grinds and cam degreeing and was able to squeeze out 21 somthing. these were done with a cr pe carb
rev clip of the modded setup w/ cr pe 28
i'm open to thoughts/opinions on the matter. i felt high 19's low 20s was pretty respectable # over what it pulled it stock form and from what your saying the CR pe should work at all right?
