Yamahas Get More Horsepower, Better Throttle Response With Edelbrock Performer Series Carbs TORRANCE, Calif. - (May 30, 2003) – In stock and ready for summer, Edelbrock’s Performer Series carburetors for 1998-2002 Yamaha YZ, WR400 and 426F motorcycles (#3148) offer significantly more power via a specially designed bolt-on system. Performer Series carbs allow crisp throttle response and added external tuneability for applications that demand a broad power band. Specifically designed for high-performance four-stroke engines, Performer Series carbs come as a complete kit, packaged with high-quality Motion Pro throttle cables. Performer Series carburetors are wet-flow tested prior to packaging for quality assurance. The diligence of the R&D team at Edelbrock shows in the Performer Series carbs. Their hands-on approach includes frequent testing on the company’s stable of bikes and ATVs. By testing carbs on Edelbrock’s in-house chassis dyno, the R&D staff gets highly accurate evaluations and achieves precise fuel calibration as a result. Performer Series Carbs also have an electroless nickel plated finish for durability and good looks, as well as these outstanding features: Accelerator Pump-- The adjustable pump provides instant throttle response and easy starting Throttle Shaft Bearings-- Sealed 440 stainless steel shaft bearings allow for a lifetime of smooth throttle operation Hard Anodized Flat Slide-- Exceptionally smooth rideability and unsurpassed wear resistance are what results from the Performer Series’ hard anodized aluminum slide Flat Needle-- A low-pressure area is created by this design, providing superior fuel atomization. The needle is externally adjustable using the metering adjustment tool, which is included in all Edelbrock motorcycle carburetor kits Float Bowl-- Includes an O-ring sealed fuel banjo that rotates 180 degrees for easy fuel routing in custom applications, and a fuel overflow tube designed to prevent flooding in the event of the float bowl overflowing Founded by Vic Edelbrock Sr. in 1938 and celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2003, Torrance-based Edelbrock Corporation (NASDAQ NM: EDEL) is recognized as one of the nation’s premier designers, manufacturers and distributors of performance parts for the automotive and motorcycle aftermarket and is a driving force in the $25 billion specialty equipment industry.
