    carb flip

    What is a carb flip? Will it help the pede? How do you do it?
    What do you need to do it?

    Thanks

    the only "carb flip" ive heard of is one required to install the os cv-x engine... as far as i know the only reason you flip it is to make it fit; i dont know of any performance gains.

    Cool

    Maxx owners do it to make it easier to get to the low speed needle and to keep the high speed needle from breaking in a rollover. I don't know of anybody who has done it to their Pede

    You can take the carb out completly and turn it the other way to make it fit.

    not possible

    First of all the carb on an O.S. cv-x does not need to be flipped to fit, it fits fine. Sencond, the throttle linkage on a pede is all wrong for a flip, you have to do some heavy mods on the linkage if you want to flip the carb.

    k sorry about the mistake-- i had a post out asking for instructions on how to install my new cv-x engine, and someone had listed that. as i havent recievd the engine yet, i wouldnt be able to find out. i should have thought about linkage problems before posting...off topic, how do i change my personal quote-- its gotten pretty stupid....
