LooK what I got today!

So, you've got the RB Designs Carb Mod, but you just hate draggin' out that screwdriver every time you want to adjust the airscrew....?


Well, now you can put away that screwdriver for good! :thumb:
(well hopefully, as I have not tested it yet)

Who cares about the RB, just if you've got a PWK! Where did you find that lovely thing!

It looks like its longer than the stock one so that the head sticks out and you can adjust it by hand instead of a screw driver.

Well.... On 2/26/04 I emailed Ron (RB DESIGNS) about if such a screw was possible...

Yesturday this showed up in my mailbox!

It's the first proto-type he made

I'm supposed to be testing it to see how it works....

But it was so darn perdy I just had to bring it to Show & Tell

He's gonna sell 'em for $20 including shipping

Methinks it could use some sort of nubbin so you could (maybe..have 1/2 a chance anyway) of FEELING 1/8 vs: 1/4 turn.

It's the prettiest part of your bike!

Too bad it's such a SMALL part! ;)

Ok, me is confused. Does this beautiful part only fit the RB modified carb?

Yeah, unfortunately (in this case) your digi takes incredible close-ups!!

O.K. I'm calling Ron tonite and requesting a prototype to test as well. $20 sounds fair. I've lost at least 20 little screwdrivers out in the forest over time.
Wib, that frame is thrashed in your photo! No amount of washing is going to "clean" that up.

I wished I would've know he was going to make those. I bought one of the blue Zip-ty screws the other day and just put it in last night. Oh well, I'm doing my part for keeping capitalism alive and well though the money is flowing the wrong direction. :-)

Best,
Greg

And it even works!

(That's a good thing!)

Used it yesterday on a 200exc 36mm RB modified carby. Also on wibby's bike. It was very nice being able to give the carb a quick tweak. Heck..you can do it on the fly!

I thought the screw due to weight might change position during the ride. It didn't budge.

An RB carb is NOT required. It will work in most any PWK. It comes with the additional spring. You use it in conjunction with the oem spring (they seat in two different places, both are required).

It IS a big advantage on an RB modified carb due to his tweaking of the pilot circuit that makes it actually DO something. The air screw adjustment is a big deal on one of his massaged carbs.

Yeah...I've lost more'n a couple screwdrivers myself.

Try one! You'll love it!!

Now then, about that inaccessible adjustment on the new crf200 fcr's...howzabout making a thumbscrew for those poor honda guys? :) I mean...gee! They are already spoilt rotten with an 'e' button. Might as well make carb adjustment a snap!!

I've wanted to do a paint job on the frame, but I'm not into missing any time in the seat for a little cosmetics!

I need all the riding time I can get! ('cuz I suck) :eek:



Speaking of riding....

Supposed to go riding with 'Carvr in the morning, but he never called to let me know where...

:whiner: :ohmy:

I just recieved my RB carb " complete with handy dandy air screw' last week.
Only had time for one ride so far. Ron jets it pretty darn close so it's an --- out of the box just smack it in mod.
His air screw is the bomb. On route adjustments are great and no more lost screw drivers either.

What an incredible difference in 'under half throttle' performance.

Excellent workmanship. Highly recommended to all regardless of existing mods.

All I need now is a set of V-Force Delta II/III reeds and I've just about taken my hybird as far as I please. Well,,,,,,,,there is always porting,,,,,,,,errr and the 240 kit,,,,,,,,,hmmmmmm could always mod the squish band too............ahhhhh, the fun never ends.

Cheers.
