Carb size on 750 confusion

[Pd1987]

So I was advised on here not too long ago that the 38mm carbs from an L model are too big to run on my slabby 750, now I'm a little confused because these originally came on a 750 slingshot so why would they be too big as they flow to much is what I was told? Any help would be great!!

The 38mm carbs were fitted with an additional 'PowerJet system' so the fueling could keep up when spinning the motor between 10 - 13,000rpm

As most won't ever go near those revs 'day 2 day' they could be described as over carb'd - work good on 1100's though!

Didn't seem to want to run correctly and was a struggle to start with ram air filters and a micron exhaust system, so this is what has led me to believe they are too big for the motor

To be fair, the 38's were too big for the 750L regardless.

And always a PITA to set up without the airbox..

Try blocking the powerjet inlets in the carb mouth, don't use anything permanent but I have done this previously on 38's when running open filters with some success in better running..

Have already given that a read I'm talking in terms of the Venturi created, as it may be too low to draw the needed amount of fuel has been suggested due to the large opening
