Call them and say I was considering buying but then noticed you increasesd your price. Is there anyway I can get the old price since I was unaware of the planned price change.
Worth a try.

Alba Carb?????
Im finally ready to pull the trigger on the Alba carb and they raised their price to $215!!!!! :shock: Is it really worth $215 to bore the card and add a new butterfly? I thought the original $185 was a tad steep, but do-able. But this???!!!
What do y'all think??

I bought the butterflies from Alba and bored out my carb myself.. I bored mine to 44.25 mm so that can save you some money doing it that way..Im finally ready to pull the trigger on the Alba carb and they raised their price to $215!!!!! :shock: Is it really worth $215 to bore the card and add a new butterfly?

I have tried looking for butterflies to purchase on my own. No luck yet. But what did Alba charge to purchase a butterfly through them?
I paid $125 to get my carb bored for my quad. I does make a hell of a difference. Usually 1 to 3 horsepower!! And I only went from 40mm to 42mm. and that was a taper bore as well.
I have heard that you can go to 45mm with the Rhino carb. I know SOUTHBAYRHINO is using an FCR carb on his. I want to know the advantages of running one of those.

Oscar the butterflies are 44.5mm? Do they have any bigger say 45 or 46mm???? That is a cheap price actually....
Yes when i miked them out before I started boren my carb thats what they measured at.. I dont know if they have bigger ones than the 44.25 thats just what they are using...Oscar the butterflies are 44.5mm? Do they have any bigger say 45 or 46mm???? That is a cheap price actually....
rhinocraft one is 185. i think they are a waste for a new butterfly and larger bore
I saved all that trouble and just bought a 45 mil mikuni
I was thinking about doing the same thing. Any feedback from anyone?Im finally ready to pull the trigger on the Alba carb and they raised their price to $215!!!!! :shock: Is it really worth $215 to bore the card and add a new butterfly?

I have the Rhinocraft one but havent ran my rhino yet...It definatly revs a lot quicker though!! Ill give you an update once I have my new fuel pump installed.....And $185 isnt bad, considering all the local shops want $120 just to do a bore.....
What's involved in the bore? Is it just drilling the through hole out larger? The reason I ask is I have a lathe and usually when I want to drill a center in something round, I use it. I just chuck the part and put the drill bit on the dead center and use it.
yep, thats it...(as far as I know)!
