Redax Laverda

another happy customer in the Redax shed,
Clyde is starting to look real cool.

just a minor diplomatic debate with Red (AND Maxene) to lower the shed standards a bit and leave the crankcases 'as is' !  :D
Clyde definitely has history ,, we await the dyno work-out.
Thanks to Redax.
 
finished off Rob's engine yesterday so am now back into Dyno building full time, no more engine rebuilding until the Dyno is pissing off the neighbours
have 4 engines to run up now and test and then post off to the happy owners (hope they are happy)

Hhhmmm, guess I'd better start thinking about wiring the dyno up then...

BTW how come you only copper plated the middle carby?
 
Good solution on the FCR's for the fuel-feed! May I suggest though to turn the arrangement of the right hand fuel feed 180* so that the fuel supply is closer to the right side? Might make no difference, but the center gets fuel from two sides, so it might be good to make sure the right carb has no different supply than the left one.

One supply on these carbs is only good if a fuel pump is installed. Guess how I know...
 
Hey Red,
what are the upper Pipes on the FCR for? Someting overfloating/returning-to-Tank or what?
What Size of Jets/Needle you put in?
Are that Trumpets are for Airbox? (No Roundings....)

cheers
 
just had a look again - right, the two connections at top are overflow, not fuel feed...  :-[

Make sure you have at least 2 fuel feeds for these carbs or only ever use them with a fuel pump... If no fuel-pump is installed, you need very large float valves. if fuel pump is installed, 2.0 is enough.

 
I had nothing to do with the conversion on these FCR carbs, owner dropped them off few weeks ago as intention is to tune his brand new engine on the Dyno with his carbs in place
no use me running his engine up with a decent set of Mikuni RS Flatslides bolted on and then he bolts the engine in his frame and installs the FCR's and the engine runs like crap
he told me he has been using them before pulling the engine so I presume they work

truthfully, I have hardly even looked at them, bolted them on when I finished building his engine to get them out of the way
flat out building loud toys at the moment

I don't understand the no choke on FCRs,thats what I thought I had on my 05 TE 250 Husky and it has a choke and also a hot start button,that cracks it open a touch to make it start easier when the bike is hot.If there on individual carbs why not a bank
 
there are some with and some without choke. As it is simply the same body, one can install choke on non-choke FCR's with some machining.

For triples, I still have two choke actuation links for getting all 3 chokes opened at the same time if anyone is interested. they are laser-cut out of 1,5mm stainless and are currently flat for easier posting. they need some bending at the right places, but I can provide pictures. Price is 30? plus posting.
 
Just received my new exhaust manifold flanges from Red,  Post was faster than our local post!!  Impressive service and impressive quality parts.  Thanks Mate!

Hi all

I needed some support for the Ignitech ignition I am installing on the 82 1200 TS Mirage project.

Red went well out of his way to provide superb timely support, and to quick ship some additional bits I need to finish the project. Highly recommended!

Also, I ordered three of his exhaust manifold clamps. Gorgeous, jewelry quality, really reasonable pricing as well.
