Just curious. What are your thoughts on them? | ||

On car engines? Wasn't aware they made them for bikes. If you are talking about cages then yes I have used them and like them a lot. Very easy to set up and reliable. | ||

they were only midly known of for motorcycle dirt or street applications. i was more familiar with the quicksilver style carb for dirt squirts. though i never owned or heard of anybody using them i can only conquer that they are nothing special since there arent that many people using them. i used to like to be different, but once you have different parts that nobody knows about and nobody can tune its kind of shooting yourself in the foot. | ||

The Edelbrock Quicksilver came stock on Cali S2`s. Mine worked well for 33000 mi.Edelbrock is no longer in the carb Biz. | ||

1996 California S2 models had Quicksilver carbs on them for EPA compliance. They were units prior to Edelbrock's involvement with the brand, IIRC. The one on my wife's S2T was hard to tune, liked to spit gas out onto the aircleaner, and caught fire on a couple of occasions. It get removed and replaced with a slightly modded CV, which worked way better. If the Quicksilver carbs were a good unit, you'd see them everywhere. You don't. Al |
