You will have clocked the 2x sets of carbs from the same seller up at a good start price;

I cannot recall if the Genesis has that carb type though .( Don't they have the metal tops ?)

Do not have experience of Exup carbs on a none exup engine; anyone contribute here ?

Theoretically; with jet swaps, there should be no excessive problems.
The dia. are the same.

Edit; coz I missed the l off metal ( which caused confusion)

Bill do those guns have a hot enough range for use on headers?
I've been after an excuse to buy one for ages and could have used one at a trackday on Monday.
Thanks

Yes they do; I use mine on the bend at the very top which is the hottest part of the pipe.
It gives the most consistent reading and an easy to re-read target.

Just gone out and done a little test; (coz I was interested in the question too )

Gun is rated to 380 c.

At Idle and warmed up ; 1100rpm = headers 270 c and remained stable at this temp.

Run at constant 6000rpm for 3 minutes = headers rose from 270 c to 450 c on the gun.

At 450-454 c the gun screen flicks back to 450 c (like a page refresh )

It is unknown how hot the headers got above this.

The guns will be rated accurate to 380 c but must go higher .

I can not recall seeing over 295c when I have been on with it previously doing mixture screws.

Nice when you learn yourself something . :rocks:
