    Interesting Idea.

    Most japanese motorcyles (ninjas, and similar "crotch rockets") are powered by an inline 4-cyl engine (of a much larger size, but bear with me.) The fuel is typically delivered by ITB injection in newer models, but older ones used 4 individual Mikuni carbs. This fact got me wondering... is there a way that a 4 cylinder carbed automotive engine (like an A-series) could receive it's fuel through these same carbs for a performance gain? Has anyone ever tried it? It could be interesting.

    Just because I use an old distributer cap as an ashtray does NOT make me a redneck!

    Re: Interesting Idea.

    search for "bike carbs." it's been discussed many times, and i assume that's what they are referring to by "bike carbs."
