Typhoonβ„’ Billet Carburetor

Developed and Proven on the Track by Carl

Typhoon carburetor by Carl's Speed Shop started with a solid block of 6061-T6 aluminum CNC machined into a constant velocity 50.8 mm (2") slide carburetor that works equally well on a 1200cc Sportster to a 131" Big Twin. This is not a casting. It's the first production billet machine carburetor.

THE END OF CARB ADJUSTMENT PROBLEMS
ONE FUEL CIRCUIT β€” ONE MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT

Unlike other C.V. units, the Typhoon has a throttle disk at the back and a slide at the front which opens as the throttle is twisted. The engine's vacuum pulls in as much fuel and air mixture as it can properly use, based on the current RPM. This "constant velocity" meters the air/fuel mix. A tapered needle regulates the fuel infusion through the entire slide range from idle to full throttle.

The carburetor features a jetting system that allows the main jet and idle to be adjusted externally by hand. You can twist the throttle wide open and the engine will accept only as much fuel/air as it needs β€” and it's extremely responsive.

Typhoon carburetor kits, complete with manifold, Barnett throttle cables, and billet air cleaner with a K&N air filter. All parts are polished to a brilliant finish.

"The grab at the low end has never been this strong. It's instantaneous."
β€” Keith Ball, Editor, EasyRiders Magazine
⚠ IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTE
After installation, you must shut off the fuel supply to the carburetor whenever your engine is stopped for any length of time. This will prevent fuel from overflowing past the float valve.

About Carl Morrow β€” Carl's Speed Shop
Carl started his first shop at Big Daddy Roth's garage in Maywood, California, then moved to Whittier next door to Whittier Harley-Davidson. He opened at 384 North Beach Street, Daytona Beach in 1969 β€” two blocks north of Daytona Harley. He holds a teaching credential from UC LA and taught motorcycle mechanics to high school students.

Carl set records at the Bonneville Salt Flats and ran drag strips for decades, developing real-world performance for Harley street bikes. He and his son Doug built the shop into a Daytona legend. Carl and Diane retired March 9, 2018 β€” opening day of Daytona Bike Week.
The Typhoon Legacy
The Typhoon is Carl's dream made real β€” machined from a solid block of billet aluminum. No casting. No compromises. Single jet circuit. Two adjustments. Works on everything from a Sportster to a 131" Big Twin.

It won at Sturgis 1995 with the F.L.A.S.H. "Top Gun" Sportster. EasyRiders Editor Keith Ball called the low-end grab "instantaneous." US Patent holder. Typhoonβ„’ Trademark registered.

What you're buying is a piece of Daytona Beach history β€” direct from Carl's shop on Beach Street.
⚑ The Typhoon carburetor is the inspiration behind the TYPN coin β€” the commerce coin in the Papa-Ecosys digital ecosystem. Fast by design. Named after this.  Β·  Read the full story on the Message Boards β†’
