buckshot 46

[Ram- man]

i have a buckshot 46 carb on my 750sx and it seems to work okay, but tuning it in sucks, i am think of scrapping it for a single riva 48---- is this a good idea, i dont see many people using buckshots probably for the same reason

I can't comment on the Buckshot, but I would suggest being careful with the Riva carb. I used one a few years ago with good success, but Riva seems to have changed something since then making tuning quite a bit more difficult.
I have ran a Full Spectrum, the Riva Powerbomb, and a regular Mikuni 46 SBN back to back and found that the 46 SBN worked just fine. Very comparable to the other two and much cheaper.

A 46 SBN will be better fit and easier to tune.
Full spec 49 is good if you have a pretty hot-rodded engine.

The never ending big carb dilemma. PT Barnum was right.
