Boost Bottles and Spacer plates ?????

[wrench man]

"As for the reed spacer you MAY feel a slight shift in power delivery. Couldn't tell you, but I know on Banshees the main purpose is to give clearance when you run big carbs so they don't hit the clutch arm."

No one said it gives clearance for stock carbs

Well the clutch arm is about a foot from the carb on a Blaster anyway, he asked about a Blaster not a Banshee.

I was simply stating that to my knowledge the origins of the spacer plate were other than a performance enhancing device.
They may benifit somehow, but I can't find proof either way

its a common idea but actually a boost bottle doesnt save up and store a charge of emulsfied fuel and magicly shoots it in the intake right when velocity reaches a certain point the cylinder desperatly needs it giving yo u instant accleration and snap due to the stroke having perfect sync with fuel requirments and demand under load ...

this is what most people belive happens^ ...sounds great on paper like so many gimmicks doesnt it ?

i agree whole-heartedly. also, they are supposedly supposed to reduce hesitancy in carbs and make better throttle response... bs...

in my mind....

the way n/a motors work is by creating a vacuum that draws the air into the cylinder (and, in the case of a 2 stroke, the crank case). the slide in the carb is there to create a great hindrance to this flow of air, if it was not there, you would not be able to idle, it would just run balls to the wall till she blew. so, when the slide is closed, the crank and boost bottle (when installed) are under a great vaccuum. when the slide is cracked open, the boost bottle is going to combat the cylinder to try to get some of that air, b/c it is also under a lower pressure, so the bottle will have to fill before the cylinder can get it's full share, creating bad throttle response and hesitancy.... also when you close the throttle the boost bottle will have some air/fuel in it that the cylinder will then suck out, meaning that the throttle response is not only worsened when you get on the throttle, but also when you leave off.....

if anyone actually read that, is that the way it works in ur mind too?

^ Yes I agree ^

But what about da bling???

makes sense to me. I knew that the storeing gas bit was BS but I never thought about the storing vacuum part
