First, the floats have to be resistant to boost pressure or they will collapse. Brad installed solid floats in the 750 Holley Double-Pumper to prevent this problem.-. that makes me nervous because i doubt that i can just buy replacement solid floats for my carbs and if i took them apat hacked them open and filled them with something and fuct them up i would be replacing 4 sets of floats, and that would change they way they float i would think, any ideas on that? also is there anythig else in the carb that needs to be changed to handle the boost? my main concern is getting the right a/f mixture i know i would need jets big enough to handle enough fuel for when the turbo is at full boost but then when its not spooled up (i'm thinking at least) it will be running real richand flooding my ---- with fuel. bikes are pretty high compression so i would only be running i was thinking like 6psi so maybe i wouldnt need such gianormous jets that it would become a problem? i did see something about the fuel pressure regulator. that adjusts fuel pressure in accordance with boost pressure? i guess that would help alot.

All the help you need is in the image below.

welcome to HMT

anything you guys can tell me would help me alot i cant really find anything else from google and you guys seem to know your ----. i was thinking about buying that corky bell book - maximum boost, would thatt help me out? how much is there about carbureted engines it it? its like $35 and i'm cheap so i was a little hesitant

thanks, zach
