Hi Bryan, my 61 super 10 is a little cruiser but no powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination.Top speed on a level road is 50 mph. It's the old V.W. bus syndrome though in that it takes a while to get there especially at my current weight north of 220 lbs. Mine ran fine but in hopes of more power i replaced the stock carb with a new mikuni. Not as much ( barely noticeable ) improvement as I'd hoped . They really need to be spun up a bit "on the pipe " as they say to get what power they have out of them but they are still a ton of fun and will cruise all day at 40 to 45 mph but again the power delivery is much like that of das v dub . Enjoy it for what it is. A more grins per mile than a lot of bikes and just to cool to look at ! ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Does anyone out in hummerland have any tricks to getting super 10 carburetor adjusted correctly? How much power should a super 10 have? I am not sure how a super 10 should run with a 170 lb man on it? Any info would be great. Thanks Bryan |
