Naw, just make a manifold with a tube instead of a flat for the reed set up. If I wasn't always chopping things up, I'd show you my first one I did. Was literally 6 washers and a piece of tube. Used some gasket paper to make some quick gaskets, just to see if the carb was going to work or not.I got the plate of metal so I'm gonna build it today. I just rebuilt a little pocket bike and I got a spare carb here so I'll build it to fit that. I'll need to buy a set of Reed valves too eh
The ones on ebay are basically just two washers with one big hole, 2 small holes and a piece of tube with a thick gasket to act as a spacer. Look on ebay for a walbro motorized bike adaptor for a better idea of how to adapt with no reed.. If you can't weld, or find anyone to, jb weld stick will work to seal it all up in a pinch. Just make sure its lightly sanded and clean before using it.
Use your imagination my friend. The sky's the limit on these bikes. So many different ways to set up one. Your only moving the air fuel mix from the carb to the intake port. As long as you keep about the same size tubing as the port, your good. Longer intake is more torque, shorter is higher rpms. Long is slower throttle response, shorter intake is a snappier throttle.
