Ok this is not your normal CNS carb question like "ahh it does not work right out of the box" or "why are their so many screws and ports!!??" I simply want to know if the CNS carbs are sturdier than the NT carbs.
I had an NT, loved it, but it couldn't handle the vibes and started crapping out - first the choke nut would vibrate loose and kill my ride, even after an application of lock-tite. Then the upper assembly that held the slide and throttle in place would come un-done and would rev like crazy. Finally one of the teeth that held it to the manifold broke and I said enough. Bought the CNS from Spooky the next day.
I have prior experience with carbs so I was not afraid of the tuning aspect. Right after I mounted it, the bike started up as soon as I let go of the clutch (and it had been sitting up for over a month!) and I thought I had gotten lucky but sure enough it would bog down after a few seconds at 3/4 throttle then later would bog the second I tried to throttle. No worries though and after an hour or so of fiddling i think I have it just right.
So back to my main question, will the CNS carbs be able to handle the vibrations a little bit better? I.E. - Are they tougher?
I know the vibrations are the main problem but I have tried many ways so correct them to no avail. Figured the CNS carb could handle them.
Thanks for reading my wall of a post and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
