Hi guys, I'm having trouble with the carb conversion I just fitted to my pinto. I bought a set of honda bike carbs on a manifold, supposedly jetted to suit a pinto, however it wont start without the choke, and wont rev beyond about 3000 rpm, it just spits back through the intakes! I reckon it is really weak or jetted incorrectly. Could anyone offer any suggestions as to what I should look for? Many thanks

look for someone who can tune carbs ?

Bog bros are ment to be the people to ask on these ,mind you my mate dave put some r1 carbs on his pinto in his mk1 cortina, drilled out the jets himself and it runs spot on

Thanks guys, spoke to carb supplier today, and he reckons the carbs haven't been jetted correctly. He said the main jets should be 1.5mm. I drilled them out myself tonight and they def were not 1.5mm! Waiting for new gasket to arrive and I can try it!!
