I guess I'm paying a bit more for mine because it's suppose to be turnkey. I didn't want to have to screw around with it. Just bolt it up and adjust the mix and idle. I was assured that that was all I would have to do. It comes with the new 44. For what I'm paying, I would expect it to be completely hassle free so I'll see.

The only thing that might cause it from being a turn key is you supplying a used carb. Who knows why the owner swapped out a carb. Most move up to the 44mm because thats the next step from stock on there bikes. Thats why there is an abundance of used 40mm.

I figure with a brand new carb already jetted and the rest of the kit, I'll be in good shape. If a guy know's what he's doing, I guess the kit you picked up would be a money saver. I didn't want to locate a good used carb and then have to possibly rebuild it and do any other modifications necessary. I'm paying a little more for the convenience + I'm getting all new components including a 44 carb. I don't see how I can go wrong.

I priced a new 44 from a local bike shop and it wasn't that bad, but i imagine getting it jetted right would be not so fun!!!!  Turnkey sounds the way to go to Me!!!!

I think you can send it off with an intake to petro and they'll do the work. Not sure how much you save. I didn't want to mess with it, just bolt it on. I think I'll have it this coming week.

It's finally here. Looks like an easy install. Maybe a couple hours for a slow meticulous guy like me.

Only problem is it's missing the choke kit, instructions, and the u.p.s. return tag for the core refund.   It's been a month and a half since I ordered it and now I have to wait another week to install because it's too cold when I go to work in the early A.M. to run without a choke. I guess they're behind a little and got in a hurry to catch up. Bummer!! :'( :'(

I got it installed and took it for a test drive. Started right up. Idled at 1500 R.P.M when it warmed up. I made a couple adjustements and it seems pretty good. A little sputtery so I'll adjust my valves when I do my belt and see what happens. I took it for a short test. Seems like a bit more pickup. I also went 80 on a slight incline with more to spare. I'll drive it more this week and see how it goes. Kind of early to tell for sure on the performance gains.

Some problems I ran across.

1.Throttle cable is too long for this set-up. I had to adjust the bolts on the gas pedal to take enough slack out of the cable so I still had enough threads to tighten on the throttle mount plate by the carb. It was too close to the end where the little rubber nipple goes on near the carb end of the accelerator cable. That took probably an hour of investigation and adjustment. It works but I would have liked to not have it mounted so close to it's limit.

2. The nut on the choke cable was wanting to cross thread because there is some sort of a clip that gets in the way when you try to start the nut on to mount it to the dash. I actually fought with that for over an hour. Maybe two.   I used some choice words and then finally got the threads fixed and got the nut to take.

3. A little problem getting the wires all taped up. That's my fault for only having duct tape!

I'll have to call Petroworks and find out about a couple of these problems. I took some pictures but there being held hostage by the camera until my wife can help me negotiate their release.

So far I'm pretty happy with the look but a little disappointed with a couple of the problems I had on the installation. I'm still in the testing stage for performance. Seems pretty good so far.
