It’s all about jetting that’s it. Those could be great for your setup. I don’t think valve size is a gauge to work with - of course it is but reality says you can get many varieties of setups functioning on the same valve size . It all goes back to where do you want your power band . A large venturie will be soggy on the bottom end and awesome in the higher rpm range . And vise versa for a smaller vent . The venturie effect is squeezing the air through an opening where it speeds up on the other side - this aids in port velocity for lower rpms and also vacuum to pull fuel out of the bowl. But can become a choke at higher rpms. On a big vent you loose all sorts of port velocity on the bottom end but gain the loss of a “choke” on the top end so it flows and flows. All about drive habits and just what you want to achieve. IDAs can be the best of both worlds if setup correctly. 44s with 36vents is a strong all around setup . I ran 44s with 32vents for ever such a good setup for my little motor . I think the board with flow is not functional if the information is not consistent when comparing . I also think carbs are easy - need to do a video of what is what and why things are happening when they happen.

Well said sir! That’s pretty much what happened, large vent on this setup absolutely flew mid through upper rpm band but was soggy down below. Of course I needed to up the idle and main jets some more. However, I don’t race this car and street drivability is important for me. I ended up putting my 44’s back on for now. I know it could be better than what it is but all around it’s great how it is. I figured I’d see how these perform and for the price I couldn’t go wrong. IDA’s with 36 vents would be perfect but then I’d be out cnc machined intakes 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes it’s just best to leave things alone but then that’s no fun 😂

Thank you for showing these off to the community, I'm sorry the carbs didn't work out for you, I know that you have to pick your battles on what upgrades you want to make work. I had the same issue with 48 IDA's prior to installing 37mm Venturi. The way the 48 IDF's were out of the box you would have needed at least a 70 idle jets, and with the large Venturi and FK8 cam your idle might have settled in around 1200'ish RPM this is fine and well for the strip but is just not particle for a driven street car.

Ahh Dual Carbs... as soon as you said 48's I thought about port velocity and jetting. Some one should be able to supply you with vents or have a shop spin some out on a lathe. likely you will need to jet up on the main and drop the air a little. You can get bigger vents for your 44's or have your current vents bored out to say 38mm you will need to bump up the main and drop the air jets some as well. Idle jets may need a bump up too if you cant get it to adjust with the mixture screws. CB has that update kit for the IDF'S that changes the secondary vent to a spray bar and it comes with new vents and jets. but that kit would kill your bottom end too. I found stock idf44mm carbs on the street are just right for me. I run very similar engine to yours. A set of CB ultra wedge ports with bigger intake valves would do the trick too. I have a sweet set of gene berg 52's that I would love to run but would have the same issue as you right now. manifolds linkage vent size ect. Sad to say for me the next step is fuel injection or turbo or both to get more power and keep drivability with out tearing my motor down. thanks for sharing I am also not an expert but enjoy and appreciate what you are doing.

Perfect quote of the day!! These did work well, they ran great I just didn’t do a ride along video. With the larger carbs and venturis, I lost some idle and low end but gained on the top end.

Can I send you my after market webber to go through? I cant get the thing to stop burning rich. Driving on it now for 2 yrs but keep fouling plugs.. I have a fuel pressure regulator installed.. 3 psi.. tried using vacuum guage to set, no go.. maybe I need to just order another carb from redline. Any ideas?

I’d double check your accelerator adjustment and jets, wouldn’t hurt to double check the float. If you’re running that rich it’s probably one of those three.

Gary, tech question for you. I'm installing the weber 34 ict duals on my trike. The tin are trapped between the manifolds and the head. Should I clearance the tins or do you think it will be okay? It's a single port. Thanks. I just needed some advice even though I may already have an answer. Have a great day! Jim

Hey Jim! It would be wise to trim the head tin so the manifolds clear, if not you could end up with a vacuum leak.

I didn’t want to buy a set of vents for the 48’s so I put my 44’s back on. I’ve setup a few sets for friends and helped them tune them in. I’ve only had an issue with 1 carb so far. It’s all in the prep and bench cleaning and setup.
