Yep, trying yet another new carb on my Hawk. But this time, I think I will have found the happy middle ground.

When I swapped the PZ30B back on my bike, I could tell I lost a little power up top. Not a ton, but it felt a little held back. What I liked was the better state of tune, idle, and less sensitive nature of the carburetor when the climate changed. It also fit better all around, IE the throttle cable wasn't getting presse into the tank and being kinked over.

What I loved about the PE30 was how easy it was to tune things like the idle mixture, the idle speed, and the responsive nature.

I came across this flanged PE28. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KXTVTGR...roduct_details

It will flow better than the PZ30. But being 28mm should maintain better velocity than the PE30, and it bolts up to the stock style intake, so fitment issues will be a thing of the past.

I have even considered ordering a TT250 airbox and making an intake tube to run an airbox again, modified slightly with a pod filter inside. But that is for another day.

The only real challenge I have now is just having the time to install and tune it as I am taking some classes on my off days, so I have little free time to work with.
