Tuning carburetor covers from CMD for DellOrto, PWK and Mikuni
New and exclusive to Scooter Center are the snakehead carburetor covers and the carburetor idler pulley from Crazy Monkey Development (CMD) for -DellOrto PHBL / PWK28 - DellOrto PHBH - Mikuni TMX30 - PWK35
The special feature of these ingenious carburetor covers is their extremely flat design, which saves a lot of space under the hood. On the Vespa Largeframe models, for example, this prevents the carburetor from hitting the frame. Even on the Lambretta, there isn't that much space towards the tank or toolbox, and it's tight in the Smallframe anyway.
The covers are certainly a great asset on any moped or scooter with a correspondingly installed carburettor: the integrated throttle cable routing without a stop is a real stroke of genius. This means that the rotating carburetor cover and throttle cable can be turned 360° and are therefore always optimally positioned. The throttle cable runs much more smoothly as a result.
Indestructible and easy to fit
Each carburettor cover is manufactured from the finest technical nylon (PA) using the latest production methods with a great deal of love for racing. The covers are virtually indestructible even under extreme racing conditions. The conversion is extremely simple and can be completed in just a few minutes.
Marco Abate from the Pacemaker SC Deggendorf is very successful in scooter racing at the European Scooter Challenge (ESC) and has already tested the Snakehead carburetor cover, here is his feedback on the covers:
... The guys have really thought about it and developed something useful. The workmanship is excellent... First of all, remove the old cover: Remove the slide, spring and sealing ring and reinstall them in the new cover. The seat of the sealing ring is nice and tight and deep enough. The slightly longer guide for the slide spring is also impressive. I see the advantage here that the spring does not lose as much tension due to slipping as with the Dell'Orto cover. You can feel this as soon as you let go of the throttle grip, at least on my racing scooter. Now put the cover on and screw it tight, of course using the 'stock screws' from the old cover. The throttle cable is briefly readjusted and the first test lap is done.... First riding impression: Top...
