CFM or what size of carburetor is what I mean. If you are looking at how to set them up jet sizes etc there are many variables that need to be considered. If your guessing I would leave it to the experts.

This is out of an old BDS Blower book I have. What carbs do I need to run and why 2 of them?
The size of carb(s) or CFM required for a given application can be calculated by the following formula:

[(CID x RPM) divided by 3456] x [(Boost divided by 14.7) + 1] = CFM required.

The amount of CFM required will determine carburetor size and quantity. If you try and use a carburetor with less CFM than required, performance and economy will be greatly reduced.

Back4more I question everything to. This formula is out of a BDS Blower book I have. I run a 525ci with the same numbers you have. 2-850's on mine.

ok i know the first part; volumetric efficiency ia taken at %100 in this formula...
according to this back4more should have 1250-1350 ...he has 1335 ..its ok.

paradigm : it looks like you are over-carburated..
