ZX6r Carbs. NOOB question..... sorry
Do all ZX6r carbs have TPS. This will be my first megajolt project engine so it's all new. I've done lots of reading on the old posts
about which carbs and how to fabrictace an inlet manifold etc etc.
I need to know when ZX6r carbs started having TPS or do they all have it.
Thanks
Dan

Any idea on bike model years?? Some ebayers don't answer their questions (ie: "do the carbs have a throttle position sensor"
Most just put model year etc
Thanks

I read 600cc bike carbs are ok for 1.8 silver top zetec.
Can i go larger?? ie: 1000cc or 1100cc
Not sure how i go about jetting/setting up etc... many on here use or have used BOGG BROTHERS.....?? seems the way to go

i've been told anywhere from 600cc to 1100cc bikes carbs are ok. in just about every case, you'll need the jets redrilled.
i had zzr1100 carbs for my 2.0 vauxhall engine, but they didn't have TPS, so i got zx9r carbs
the jets on mine will need drilled to about 1.5-1.6mm, yours perhaps slightly less.
have a look at this thread for example. it lists just about every carb going

pretty much. you unscrew the jet out the bottom of the carb, and take a drill of the correct size to it

I did have a rolling road session and the air correctors got blocked off so always worth doing if they know about bike carbs just to make sure they
are giving you the best power but 1.65 should give you a useable car to drive to the rolling road!
I have some spare 1.65 drlils if you need 1!

personally i wouldnt touch the jets.
when i had mine set up they didnt need to re drill the jets.
they reprofiled the needles which was enough.
you only need to redrill the jets if the car is underfueling past 4.5k if its underfueling below 4.5k the needles need reprofiling or you will lose
your fuel economy on cruse.
they are near impossible to seup without a wideband lambada so if you dont have one just take it to the rr. i can reccomend atspeed in essex if your
in the south

I'm running ZX6Rs on a 2.0 Zetec and they work great. Jets are drilled to 1.6mm and needles are adjusted to get mid range mixture right. I set
mine up with a wide band lambda.
The standard size jets are likely to be too small on a 1.8 Zetec [depending on what air filter / airbox you are running]. The biggest danger with DIY
carb setups is running too lean, hence the need for a wideband or better still an RR session.
