Carburettors

My knowledge is base mainly on american internet pages about the adjustment of CV carburettors (CV = constant velocity, constant vaccuum). On the pages of Mikuni and Keihin you find informations about adjusting slide carbs which are partially applicable on CV carbs. This cut view matches pretty well the carburettor type of the DR-Big 1.

These exploded graphics stem from the Mikuni BST33 carbs of the BMW F650 bike. Only differences to the DR-Big are the jets.
