SB100 and Demon carbs

[gene giambona]

Many thanks to those who provided me with all the helpful advice regarding SB 100. Things went slowly but smoothly during my DMV visit on 5/27/03 and just before five p.m. I was able to get my cobra registered (#452/500)!

Now I just need to get the ball rolling since they gave me 60 days to get all the required CHP and BAR inspections. My 427 is still humbly sitting on a stand, but all the parts are almost here. I can't wait to hear that motor come to life!!

By the way, just in case any of you recently purchased a road demon jr........be careful! I placed my order with Summit last week for a pair of them and the following day I had a phone message stating that the Barry Grant Technicians were coming to inspect all their carbs and they wouldn't sell them until the inspections were complete. The guy stated that the screws holding the butterflies to the throttle shafts were getting loose.

Sounds like a pretty serious problem.......especially if they were to fall out! OUCH!! I'm supposed to call Summit and check back with them. The shipping verification dept. of Summit showed the carbs as "unavailable" when I last spoke to them a week ago. I'm still unsure if this is a common problem with all their Demon carbs or just the Road Demon Jr. series. I'll keep you posted as events happen.
