To me, the single is more work.

So where did you get the information that a single carb tames an engine down and makes it smoother?

It was my interpretation from many things I read that to me make sense.
Ever wonder why every ski Blowsion gets setup uses a single carb? What do the Blowsion guys primarily do? Ride in the surf.

Ok, so the statement that you made saying that a single carb setup tames an engine down and makes it smoother is something that you derived in your mind. It's not a statement made from your actual firsthand experience or knowledge. I find it interesting how some people on here make factual statements with no experience regarding their comments.

I found with the TLR 44 that it required more adjustments to keep it in tune. You ride on day at 90 degrees and the ski ran fine. Go out the next day with the temps 10 degrees different and different humidity and you had to retune it. That got old. When it was on, it was great, when off, pop the hood.
Plus in the end, the setup did not do it for me.

Because I am sure my builder knows and has experienced a LOT more than you do/ have.
You can't comment either, because you have never ran duals on your current motor. You have nothing to compare it to aside from a single carb setup on there. So by your logic, the only way your experience gives you a leg to stand on here is if you have ran the duals on your motor. Maybe you should try it. Hell, ask Virgin which makes more power.
And aren't you switching to duals yourself? The word on the street is you are indeed. If a single is so the bomb, why the change?

Both setups work and work well, it just depends on what you want to do with it.
Unless you have run both and tested with both then your in the same boat as Steve.

My 650 with a single 44 was way tamer than my TS 701 with dual 46's.

Maybe you missed the part where I mentioned BY YOUR LOGIC. I never called bs on anybody in here. I even admitted I didn't want to argue anymore because I don't actually know enough to do so. My builder sure as hell does though, and I believe him.

Hmm..where do you see me making factual statements about anything other than what I have run? Have you ever seen me me make a statement saying singles ... or duals for that matter make more power? No, you haven't. You are the one running your mouth like you know what you are talking about...when it's just something you "think."
I don't have comparison on my large motor between duals and a single, but if a single tames the power and makes it smoother. I'm glad I don't have duals. My motor with a single snaps harder that I ever imagined a standup motor could.
I have had quite a few conversations with Brian regarding my carb setup. I have asked Virgin what makes more power. He said duals. He also told me a single will give me more snap.
As far as me switching from my single setup to go with duals, nothing could be farther from the truth. My motor rocks the house with a single, and it is going to stay that way. The only thing that I am changing in this new carbon boat is my ignition system and adding trim.

The Snap is where the single comes in. Instant throttle response.

Personally i think Novis are the best carb out there
I have tried singles duals
i have tried black jacks
i would rate them higher than full rectums
I have tried spectrums as well i found they were very over rated
Nothing has hit as hard as a well SETUP set of novis
Personally i found the single to be lacking every where over a well tuned twin setup

yz,it irratates me when people regurge what others have told them as fact also,even if it is from a motor builder,I cant count the amount of times certain "builders" have said something usually about a certain type product working better than the next for their own personal advantage or 1 way never tried anything else experience,then all the sudden it becomes a permanent truth.
I will be testing these dual48s tues so I will have tried it back to back against the riva and BJ single carbs and fuel injection. Ive riddin some dual fs 48 setups that could not possibly have anymore snap,so not so sure about singles being more snappy on the power.it was just like flicking a switch,not that I personally care for that effect.

the carbon vs aluminum B chambers thread is the perfect example of what you are saying! U have a bunch of peeps that have not even seen much less run a carbon chamber saying the carbon chambers lose power. WTF? LOL

I may have put words in your mouth (Assumed, whatever), and who knows, I may have misinterpreted the info wrong about it taming the engine down. Fact is, you felt it was necessary to try and argue about something that I even admitted I didn't know for 100% about. On the other hand, YOU can't prove what I "Believe" isn't true. Until you put duals on your motor, you won't know which are better. You are happy with it and that is fine. You can continue to argue if you would like, but I think we got that out of the way the other day in your jet thread.
