These carbs really haul the freight! I was getting somewhat frustrated toward the middle of this venture but I'm glad I stuck it out. Now that the jetting is pretty dialed in, it's just incredible how these mikunis have transformed this roadster. And the symphony of all four barrels kicking in sync, it's priceless. Like you mentioned, their is a little driver intervention needed such as blipping the throttle every so often to clear the sticky slides, but I'm so used to the extra power now that I'll never be able to go back to SU's. I can see now why you would never ever mess with the DCOE's and PHH's carbs. These things are awesome! The simplicity of it all is just super, not having to fabricate a linkage (at carb) and the suspension of the carbs off the hoses. One thing additional that I did to mine was add a brace from the head cover to the bellcrank to help aid in suspending the carbs. Kind of a limit for carb travel downward. I only have my butt dyno to rely on but what a difference. Now I need more cam! to reap all the benifits of these babys! Guess you can tell I'm a little excited. Thanks, for taking on this project! I'm a very happy camper. Tom Prather

PRI KEIHIN CARBURETOR KITS WHAT WE'RE MOST KNOWN FOR! He wrote the book on this adaptation and was the first to offer it in kit form to the public. He is also proud that it is the Triumph world who is first to benefit from this lethal cross-tuning creation of PRI's founder, Christopher Cancelli.
Since their conception these cars needed help in this area in a big way, and now the ultimate option exists for them. The most potent and reliable carburetors on the planet.
On an evening in the Summer of 1984 Chris like so many times before worked late into the night at his then Los Angeles based sport bike shop, but this time he wasn't working on his Super Bike. This particular evening he was installing a quad set of these carburetors on a his 1972 Spitfire1300. After installing these carburetors on literally every different make and size Sport bike Chris had earned a nation wide reputation with them making bikes really fly. But the Spitfire installation would be a different venture all together. Defying critics, and even the engineers at Mikuni and Keihin Chris pressed on and six weeks later developed the combination that worked perfectly throughout the Spitfire's entire rpm spectrum. Using the Spitfire as his daily driver he continued to develop and test the system for a whole year while driving through every condition L.A. has to offer in traffic and weather. From freeway rush hour in 90 degree heat to blasting up Angeles Crest hwy with it's 6500 foot altitude in the dead of Winter. His kit's year long testing phase put 32,000 hard miles on the little MK IV. The results were so impressive Chris never again considered Weber's DCOE as a performance option. The Keihins are half the weight, tune easier and with greater precision, make way more power, and get better gas mileage. What could possibly be better? Absolutely nothing!
Engineered for optimum performance and safety PRI kits are fully accessorized right down to the last zip tie so you are never left shopping for additional hardware. They're also Pre-assembled and pre-jetted so you aren't left guessing or buying additional jets. In fact we will even exchange one set of main jets at no charge if your motor or altitude requires a different setting. What's more, PRI gives unlimited tech support on installation, tuning and care for your kit. We would be nuts offering this if our product wasn't so easy to tune and stone reliable. They will never go out of tune, or need overhauling. If you want even more power try them with our extreme performance header/exhaust system. Specifically for the use with our Keihin induction kits it is the wildest, most complex header design ever to be put into production. This system was also designed and engineered by Chris Cancelli for the widest possible torque curve. See "exhaust systems" for more details. Keihin induction kits are available for Spitfire/GT6/TR6 and TR250.
PRI MIKUNI CARBURETOR KITS
Or economical performance replacement for the Stromberg carburetor.
Derived from the world famous Lucas sliding door injection which helped Jaguar dominate the racing world. Lucas engineers found a flat slide to have two great advantages over the typical round piston air valve and butterfly style throttle plates. One is that it atomizes the fuel much better, the second is it creates much greater vacuum in the manifold during 1/4 to 3/4 throttle openings. What this means is the charge is forced into the cylinders at greater speed (higher port velocity) while the finer atomized fuel particles ignite quicker and burn more complete aiding efficiency. These two features will allow leaner jetting when accompanied by a high performance ignition system such as MSD or Mallory High Fire. The end result is great power and better fuel economy, something that usually isn't phrased together. These flat slide carburetors work in the very same manor and incorporate an accelerator pump jet for instant throttle response. PRI has these carburetors bolting right to your existing intake manifold with their fully developed "pre-assembled" and "pre-jetted" kits for Triumph Spitfire, GT6, TR6 and TR250. Less costly than our Quad or Six-Pack Keihin sets these kits will strongly increase throttle response and torque right from idle over the Stromberg. No maintenance required after installation. Rock solid Japanese reliability with performance that even took us by surprise!
We stand behind everything we make. Our induction kits are the ultimate and come with 100% unlimited tech support for as long as you own them. "We guaranty they will out-perform all other induction systems in their class." Affordable quality and performance from PRI. Have us in your corner!
