Patrick James Carburetor
I just bought a carb from this guy and have not notice too many people on this site that runs one of his carburetor. This guy is a pleasure to talk to and his customer service is beyond reaproached. They are a little expensive $699.99, but from what I have read and told by other you cannot go wrong with this guy. I have had too many tuning issue with the Barry Grant Speed Demon 750. I could not get this carb to stop being rich one day, lean the next. The idle would jump all over, but this was the wrong carb for my application. I'm just happy that I will be getting a carb that was built specific for my application and the word is there is little tuning need after Patrick has put his hands on your carb.
Here is an email I got back from Patrick:
Hi David,
For best performance, we can build you one of our XC
series HP double pumpers priced at only $690 that
offers great bang for the buck, incredibly quick
throttle response and can be set up to be perfect for
your application.
It has our adjustable air bleed configuration,
non-stick gaskets, drag float, jet extensions, 1000 HP
size red billet baseplate (for more top end charge) ,
a complete wet-flow portfolio, a real sharp piece with
stepped dog leg boosters, hi-flow needle and seats and
an aggressive race fuel curve. Just bolt on and go.
Typically I see a 10-30 hp improvement over an off the
shelf unit with much better consistency, driveability
and if the need arises you can spray it up to a 350
shot.
We'll size it for the exact cfm range when it is on
the wet flow bench to match your programs needs. But
it'll probably end up being in the 840-860 REAL cfm
range.
Just e or call me with a Credit Card # when you're
ready and I can get it built. We are on a 5-6 day
build time.
Glad to be your builder David. : )

have you put it on and set it up yet?
This might be a good post to also put in the aftermarket vendor / product board. I've never even heard of this guy/company.

Just received my carb today and all I can say is WOW.....
This carb is awesome with a 950Hp main body. He told me it would be close to a 1000 just to get the upper rpm, but im ok with the 950...
I will install it once the weather clear up here in Tx.
