Custom/Hybrid Upgraded to a TPE 964 couple of questions

[Pat Benatar]

Recently purchased a freshly rebuilt TPE 964 and I’m wondering what you guys would recommend running for carbs. I have mikuni 44’s right now. Assuming I’d need to upgrade to at least 46’s? I’ve been told by some that I can run 44’s with the proper jetting and upgrade later. Also on the pump side I have a setback 148 pump with a skat trak 9/15 pitched prop. Wondering if I’ll need a different prop?

Thanks!

Stock Mikuni 46's are a great low cost high performing carb. I have them on my TPE 964 with a setback Skat trak 155 9/16, MSD enhancer, RRP pipe and it's pretty damn good.

Thanks Kirk. I’m in MN as well, I think we’ve met before. I was told I can run 44’s with it too but I think 46’s would be better. What intake are you running with it? Hoping my 9/15 prop is fine.

your gonna need way more prop. I use to run a 10/16 on 85mm big bore.

Way more as you’re thinking I’m going to just spin on the low end with a 9/15 I take it? What size would you recommend?

I thought you were talking about a 144 pump running a 9/15 Hooker
what motor did you run before

I ran an 828cc before this the same pump / prop. Had 44mm carbs then. Just upgraded to 46mm carbs, tpe 964. Hoping to keep my prop / pump setup the same for now

I sent you my number, if you want to talk about the engine and setup it would much easier to talk on the phone rather than type on a forum.
