At some point (probably sooner than later), I'm going to want to ditch the stock carb on our Scrambler and swap on a larger carb.
If you remember from my previous threads, we're not building a race quad, but rather an aggressive woods/trail riding setup. We will be running a pump-gas friendly 54mm ported cylinder with the Hetrick pipe.
I've read through a lot of threads on here and it seems a lot of guys are running either 24mm or 28mm carbs with a setup similar to ours. However, I'm more concerned about throttle response and low-mid range torque than top-end.
More isn't always better, so I don't want to over-carb this thing and have it be lazy on the bottom, so I was leaning more towards a 24mm carb. It's my understanding that we'll need a different intake and probably have to run a clamp-on air filter (much to my dislike). I run stock, closed airboxes w/ good air filters on all our quads simply because of the amount of mud, dust and water we ride in.
Thoughts or suggestions on carb selection would be appreciated! Remember, throttle response and low to mid-range torque is what we're after.
PS: What size is the anemic stock 90 carb?
