Yes it does work well, but what do you want out of your ski, as with any setup there can be limitations, plus's and minus's

Every thread Ive seen about going single carb also suggests that you use the ATP manifold... the RIVA manifold is supposedly restrictive of air flow and fuel, which starves your engine on WOT runs.

That said, Im going to be ordering an ATP manifold this winter to try it out with my single 48.

Currently I'm running a Riva single carb setup on a 62t 760 with a 46mm buckshot and it rips. That being said, we just group ordered 3 single mani's from ATP for a few of the oside crew. Having heard they flow better, and of course they look better, and the price wasn't bad, we said screw it.

I'll need some feed back on that manifold please. :biggrin:
Ask PancakePete, Freestyleriverrat, Crammit442, IKSTEJ, cmw239, or spokewrench what they thought of the intake on my 860cc motor. Most people are surprised that a single can make the power they felt on that ski.
That being said, Charles (crammit442) has a very similar setup to me, but he is running dual carbs. When we rode together, his had a noticeably harder hit. I am going to bolt on dual 46's in a few weeks to see if I gain a bottom end hit over the single.
I would prefer the single as it just looks cleaner, and if you choose to go with a single, I would definitely recommend the ATP intake.

If you like the duals better... are you going to get rid of your manifold? dibs if so :biggrin:
lol. I'll probably keep it as a backup, but I'll post if I do decide to sell.

I don't expect to see any noticeable difference. With the talk of the Riva mani leaning out at WOT, and considering this is on my blaster, which tends to be on trottle a LOT, I thought I'd give it a shot.

what I really want to know is the dif between the riva and atp. I"ve got a riva on my 62t motor now.

I thought I would try this, but that is too much for a part to have on hand if I decide dual.

Its 104 GBP for Americans (Plus 20 GBP shipping). We don't pay the crazy taxes that they have to pay over there. It comes out to $230-ish dollars shipped to America.

We ordered more than one and got a discount. I think all in all it was actually LESS than a new Riva mani, and only a little more than I paid for a used Riva.

So what they are saying is if you are wishing to use your boat as a renatal then single is the gun for you
If you want your boat to rock and pull like a freight train then go for twins

why do joe kenny and taylor curtis run singles then?
Simplicity. And top speed ain't important.
But mostly - simplicity.
(Though I don't get this simplicity point - it's not like carbs are an "unreliable" part that needs constant maintenance and tuning)
I will also throw in there that I think a single will use more gas than two properly tuned duals.
