Shatter it through the bulb hole mate, and then remove the remains with long nose pliers.

But then again, they'll look/sound cool,and be pretty unique.
Might stretch the engine project out longer, to spread the cost(which isn't a massive amount in terms of engine tuning money)
And then see how if i can sort them for summer.
Its the ecu mapping/carb setup costs that are bothering me. Seeing as bike carbs aren't used much, nor is the megajolt ecu.
must admit, im straying away.. goin sbd/similar.. proper stuff. new or used..
i just spend ages looking through this from the 1st post till the last, must say, its a very clean and tidy nove, i hope you get the carbs on a set up right, you cant beat the sound they make lol

yeah but jets and other bits and bobs are much cheaper to replace than for webers and stuff like that aren't they, and there are only 4 things to change in a motorbike carb providing your float needle and seat are large enough to flow a sufficient amount of fuel, you've got main jet (?3 each), needle jet(similar cost), pilot jet(also very cheap) and possibly the needle itself, and beacuse the venturi's are variable, u don't have to worry about buying a right set of chokes, i'd stick with them and get them on, i don't think you'll regret it, i can't wait till i've got my shell done so i can then move onto the engine and get a simlar setup done on mine

Yeah jets are cheap. If you only need buy them once(which is unlikely when you're trying set them up)
You only need change the main jet, apparently just fiddling with the idle screw is enough to get the idle mix ok, and the needle is adjustable by a small circlip, so you can fine tune the main jet.
But by the way a carb works, the fuelling is never going to be great. Which is where the bad mpg etc comes from.
