Funny you would like a cv over a slide carb,,, I'm the other way in that,,, can't stand cv carbs,, I go to a slide as soon as I can,, the Stella has a direct carb but it's an antiquated design and too small for the application,, so I'm going up 3 mm larger with a freer exhaust that's it for this boat anchor ,,, You by chance have any experience with EFI (Electronic fuel injection)? I have been giving serious thought to getting an ecotrons efi to go with a 4 valve head.... $400.00 for the efi, another 275 if I want the ALM-S with gauge.... How well does a slide carb work compared to an EFI when speaking of speed performance? |

If the EFI is well sorted out it's great!!!,, BUT you need clean consistent power,,, injection does not run well on the lower end of the power scale,,, I have great luck with mikuni flat slide carbs myself and am running one on my dr350 now and the last 5 of my carbed bikes ,, and when they are setup correctly it is indistinguishable from EFI ,, I switched my et4 Vespa 150 over to a flatslide mikuni and it was a revelation ,, completely different from the stocker cv ,,, and as a side as soon as my Stella gets 2000 miles on it ( very soon) it's getting a 3mm larger slide carb with an accelerator pump 21mm pinasco and a Sito pipe, ,,,, some people scream keihin fcr carbs and when setup correctly they are great as well,,, but the very high buy in cost and fiddly setup has shied me away from them for the very slight gains in performance over the mikuni setup
