If I get a intake spacer would I have to rejet. Would a spacer or shave head be a better upgrade next.
Head mod first!
hola ..estoy interezado en la funcion dl spaciador cañas si me podrian dar informacion .muchas gracias desde argentina
It does more than add clearance to run a bigger carb.
I moves the power band either up or down , depending where it is installed.
Between the reeds and the jug, the power comes on at a lower rev.
Between the boot and the reeds the power is moved into the upper register.
You cannot use a block with VF3 reeds as it will just not fit.
No jetting changes are needed as it does not change the breathing.
To gain the maximum low down peformance, with a spacer between the reeds and the jug, a +4 timing advance really does compliment it well.
It seems to work really well, especially in the low/mids, with a slightly richer mixture than the optimum.
.
A larger spacer between the reeds and jug will increase the crankcase volume, therefore decrease the pressure and velocity of the air/fuel charge delivered to the cylinder.
This will limit the incoming charge, and the affect exhaust scavange, resulting in a poor burn.
It would be an interesting experiment to do, just to see how thick a spacer one could run, without loosing performance.
I have not done my math when it comes to placing the spacer between the reeds and the carb.
