R1 carbs are popular, but any from a 600 upwards,,

If you're going with megajolt for sparks, try and get a set of carbs with a TPS included, saves a bit of hassle later

I'm not sure Chris, early days for our Zetec  I "think" the later the bike, the more likely to have a TPS, something to do with
emmisions on later bikes ?

I have 1999 R1 carbs tied to a Boggs Brothers manifold. Had the head ported and planed .025 inches. Estimate the engine is doing around 170 hp.
Sounds sweet and awesome performance. I had to do some fiddling with the main and idle jets to get the right size (and you can buy these as std
sizes). Am very pleased

I'm using ZZR1100 carbs but they have no TPS. I may go for some zx9 carbs or try and fit the TPS off the Ford inlet manifold.

Blade carbs seem a better price, and luckily bogg bros recomended them for ease of set up so thats what i did.

Chris, have a word with Malc at Yorkshire engines. In the last lot of TBs he had up for sale, there were a few sets of carbs available. He specialises
in low-milage engines, he might have something ?

Anything over 38mm should be OK for a standard 2.0 Zetec.
I opted for 42mm TB's and think they are too big for a standard engine. Small throttle openings at low revs gives 100KPa so it makes it very
sensitive at low throttle.
They will be good once I tune up though!!
Most bike carbs come with TPS but if not they can be sourced from Maplins very cheaply.
Summer's here!!!!

You know when you go on e-bay and you get carried away and bid on lots of stuff, just in case?
Well I appear to have bought some GSXR750 carbs. For £10.50.
Any TPS on those?
Cheers
Chris
Edit I've solved this one myself - no TPS, what does Maplins list them as?
(It's not Throttle position sensors BTW!)
