Good Carb for a 416EX.

[Steve-o 400EX]

What would be a good carb for a 416ex. Would a 38mm be enough or would a 39 give that much more of a difference?

[Big - D Racing]

standard edelbrock or the fcr 39 will work, but the 39 might be a little to big unless, your doing porting and polishing work also.

[Steve-o 400EX]

Ok thanks, would a 38 do much for it, I know they are a lot cheaper but is there a big difference between the 38 and 39?

remove the chock, and u can get small bore job and swirl job done that will be cheaper and easier and probably just as good.

if i get a carb i will be getting a 39 fcr

[Colby@C&DRacing]

I have always used the 39 fcr. It works really well with the 416. I have never tried the 38.:)

i sent my stock carb with no choke to rocky ridge to be bored to a 38 for 125 i'll let you know how it runs if anybody ever sends me all my stuff back so i can get my quad back already:(

Whats a Swirl job?? never heard of it...??:confused2 :confused:

I am running a 38mm carb that has been smooth bored to a 39.5mm on my big bore 452 and it runs really good. I am in the process of upgrading to a FCR41, but haven't had time to install it and get it jetted because it has been too cold. This spring the 38mm carb will be for sale when I get the FCR41 dialed in.

means they like flute it so i causes the air to swirl as it goes thru the carb making for a better air/fuel mixture meaning a better burn over all

i would like to know about the 38 bore also on the stock carb.

keep us updated, and steve you can try it out first:D :uhoh:

LOL, hey i'll take the chance. I got a tight budget so i need to know as much as i can.

[speedy400]

how much is it to have them swirl the carb? (average) and does it really help much?

[UglyMotha™]

well i really dunno if they swirled mine off hand i just sent it to rocky ridge to let them work there magic on it i do know that there boring it out to a 38 and the 125 i guess anything else they do to it is just an added bonus mine should be back withing the next couple day i'll post some pics when i get it
