Carb conversion?
« on: May 28, 2024, 11:11:33 AM »
Has anyone out there converted a C14 engine to carb? I have a "spare" engine from my wrecked bike that we're talking about putting in a "shop golf cart" for when we're at the track.

I will be surprised if you find anyone that has done that!

lt would take more than a set of carbs to get it to start.

Yeah, I know it’s more than a set of carbs. Hell, I could fab a manifold and carb setup myself. Ignition control is where I’d need assistance. Not sure how to go about that.

HAH! Yeah, I really just need to figure out a stand alone ignition controller. Add that to the long list of projects.

First you need to find a way to pickup the trigger position for each pair of coils.
Then you need an igniter to transform that to the switched 12v that gets sent to the coils and to perform the advance needed as the rpm rises.
Easiest would be to use an 80's igniter (like from a ZG1000) and make/modify your own ignition plate and sensor mounts.
The C14 stick coils could be fired by the C10 igniter.

There are probably off the shelf ignition systems out there but $$$$
