Yellowhand,
Soooo, I started working pon the gc160 today, and am tryingto decide to do about the carb. If I use the stock carb, is it ok to run a gravity fed setup? I do want to run a gravity setup, since I have a good idea for a fuel tank...

Or, should I use a mikuni vm22? Do you have the intakes available yet? Where do you get the Mikunis?

Your help is much appreciated!

John

OK, you've caught me slacking off...I'll go out and get my acetylene tank refilled right now, so I can twist up some front forks.

The Mikuni VM22 and 24 have slightly different sized mounting flanges...the 22 is actually larger than the 24...I'm cutting billet blanks to make manifolds for both sizes, since they are both popular, depending on the type of mods made to the engine...22mm works well for stock or nearly stock...24mm is better when engine internals have been upgraded.

When midwestx and I CNC some manifolds, we'll put them on OldMiniBikes at a good price...a small profit will be made, but it will go to supporting the site.

Great!! Thanks for the info..What mods would be necessary for a gx intake? How soon would the billet intakes be available? I am a little handy and could do the mods.

Yellowhand, I am looking for a little guidance. I have a jet powered kayak with a gc160 engine. The carb on the thing sucks. Can you recommend any mods (i.e.-intake-carb combo) that I can put on the thing to make it more adjustable/reliable? Any help would be great!! Thanks!!
