Mechano .... on the accelerator pump.
Unlike the Delorto carbies on my Ducati, the Keihen do not have an accelerometer pump.
The SM/BA carbies are in fact a little "slow". Let me explain.
Most carbies, you twist the grip, the cable pulls up the slide, the engine gets fuel/air. Our Keihen jobs, you twist the grip, the cable open a butterfly, the butterfly allows air in, creates a vaccuum above the slide, pulls the slide up and the engine gets fuel/air.
Having sadi that, they are reliable and extremely common. The Harleys use 'em. In fact MANY brands of bike use them.
I have to keep telling myself, "Michael, you bought a CRUISER!" It's just that it gallops so hard.... you just want MORE!!!
