Individual Carburated Throttle Bodies on Honda engine?

Re: Individual Carburated Throttle Bodies on Honda engine?
to run a carb with a high pressure pump you just loop the feed and return fuel lines, and then T into it and restrict the return line just enough to get the sort of pressure the carb needs.
and for not using vtec, the reason they do that is because if its a race engine, theres really no need for vtec, because if your always in high rpm, vtec will always be activated therefore its the same as having a higher lobe cam.
so they use the higher flowing vtec head instead of having to work over a non-vtec head to the same performance

motorcycles carbs have float bowls, i'm asuming if he's running ind carbs that they are something off an inline 4
motorcycle, if the fuel level is too high in the float bowl, it causes a rich condition. Carb'd bikes run off gravity
feed and vacuum, depending on the petcock, and have a float valve that stops the fuel from coming in, i just
dont see how it could work under psi. (i'm sure there is a way though)

keep in mind that generally carbs are harder to control and tune...which is why fuel injection is so much more common and just all around better.

sure it will overflow and drain when the bike is off, but what is it doing when the bike is running? This is
why there is a spec for carb float height. I thought you worked in a shop? Know of any bikes off the top of
your head with that pump?, i haven't seen one my whole time in school, must be a pretty rare deal?

some individual carbs have little vaccume fuel pumps on the unit itself and dont need a fuel pump they could use the stock ecu for spark if it doesnt cel to death
