just picked up and running this carb on my elite/dio (corsa, naruku manifold polini 23mm carb and polini filter with stock pipe) still playing around with jetting but think I've found a good spot at 128 MJ with 40PJ thing really rips and keeps the temps low around 260, looks great and remote choke is nice mounted mine up on my rear rack. I was switching over from stock carb so no experience with OKO only problem I had was not a lot of tuning info on here yet but graphite9 is always helpful and glad to see he is testing one.

I honestly don't think there is much MPG difference from my stock to my 24mm polini. Granted I still haven't really run the * out of it yet. I know it had to have dropped some but haven't noticed a huge drop. I love the carb though G9 did show me A better polini carb the other day and it's nice!

So throttle response,fuel consumption, and transitioning are alot better with those polini carbs.. In the end how was the top end effected going to a lower MM carb? The end combo you where using was a dio/ct manifold? and the Polini carb?

One of the best manifolds that I liked using was the Koso Small manifold that I had a few years ago. Plus it leaned straight back then at an angle so I could even run Full spree pannels before I put on my eve pannels.

Very tempted to try one of these on my vertical Jog. I would think a 19 is in order for my set up. I can use my existing intake and throttle cable that accomodates my OKO? OKO jets too right?

Just had a few questions on this manifold. Can I use a 24mm pwk style carb on this? What's the diameter of the inlet? And is the reed cage simallar to a ct cage?

hey graphite9 or anyone running polini 23 carb

Im just starting to work on tuning again on my elite

was running 128 Main and 40 pilot top notch on needle, ran strong but rich could only hit 260 degrees at wot

switched to 110 main (smallest i had) 40 pilot middle notch on needle, has a little hesitation at about 1/4 throttle but runs strong after that still barely touching 300 degrees wot

wondering what everyone else is running so i can get a baseline and also what you are doing for setting on the fuel screw and needle clip
