How do I know what size carburetor to get?
To arrive at the most appropriate carburetor choice, there’s a basic formula: engine displacement multiplied by maximum rpm divided by 3,456. For example: a typical 355ci small-block—a 0.030-over rebuild—with a 6,000-rpm max engine speed would work well with a 616-cfm carb ((355 x 6,000) 3,456 = 616.32).
What happens if you put a bigger carburetor?
A bigger carburetor alone will not make your bike go faster. In most cases, your bike won’t even start or idle roughly with a carburetor that’s too big. For more power, you should look into a full system performance exhaust and rejetting your carb (not replacing it entirely).
