Linkert bomb sight

[kenny]

I have a M35 lnkert carburaetor for a stock 74 knucklehead engine that has been converted into a sleeper carb set up and my question is at this point is there any more performance gain using the bomb sight ventura.?I will put this carb to use soon.Thanks all you linkert fans.

Kenny,

I do a lot of testing analysis and data collection. I have never been presented the opportunity to analyze one of those Linkert set up's in my test cell.
For that reason I am unable to share pros or cons in this subject.

I would be very interested in seeing any information/data accumulated by other members.
I'm always open minded and looking to learn the pros and cons, because everything has both...

Your M35, Kenny,

Accepts virtually none of the original M53 'bombsight' hardware.

Perhaps you are considering a modern 'hybrid' replacement venturi, in which case all bets are off!

The factory figured out the bombsite wasn't a great top end performer. Most later racing carbs did not use it and the updated KH carbs did away with it. The low speed and accelearation gains were negated by loss of top end. The venturi in the MR3 and MR4 was stamped brass, the M53 venturi was pot metal like other types.
