Cb360 carbs

Same answer: If you run pods with no intake stacks it won't make any difference what jets you use, it still won't run right until you put the intake stacks back on the carbs, then you should be able to run the stock original jetting. You're not putting any additional oxygen into the engine by fitting pods, that's a misconception, you are in fact reducing the oxygen and reducing the carburetors ability to atomize fuel into the more turbulent air intake. (you can't fix that situation by just dumping more fuel into the mix, put the intake stacks back on and put the air filter on that, the size of your valves and piston displacement has not changed.)

I know a place that does dyno testing, it will only cost him about 400$ per run and reveal how little power a CB360 produces.
... and it will still run like garbage if you don't funnel the air into the carburetors. That's what an air intake does, in the simplest terms, it funnels the air into your carburetor and it works because you can indeed compress air by passing it through a funnel.

You know how much difference your exhaust system change makes on the carburetor jetting? Give you a hint; it's a 4 cycle engine, the intake vacuum pressure used to operate the carburetor is produced by the movement of the piston on its intake stroke and the exhaust stroke does not happen at the same time as the intake stroke.

Pods will do two things for you, they will make the engine induction sound much louder and on average make the bike considerably less fuel efficient. Tiny pod filter on the crankcase vent will clog with oil and water eventually messing up your engine.

This raises so many questions. <- Yes, like why is the sky blue

How you can compress air by drawing it through a funnel? <- very very fast actually and by means of a vacuum created by the intake cycle inside a 4-cycle engine.

How do carbs that have their float bowls vented to atmosphere work with velocity stacks that compress the intake charge? <- your engine is a piston driven air pump, it creates a significant vacuum, far more vacuum then the positive atmospheric pressure in the float bowl or in the air box, that engine vacuum draws air past the venturi and draws fuel up through an emulsion tube to begin the aeration and atomization of the liquid fuel into the intake air stream. Gravity is why the atmosphere has positive air pressure, unlike the vacuum of space or the vacuum inside your head when the piston is dropping in a cylindrical barrel, creating a void if not for the intake valve being open and allowing the fuel air mix (roughly 14.5 parts air to 1 part gasoline is close to optimum) so yes, your internal combustion engine will NOT operate in the vacuum void of outer space.

How do venturis work if funnels compress air? <- Ever seen a fly sprayer, a fuel vanturi works just like a fly sprayer and it ain't no funnel. When you draw air through a funnel (which is nothing like a fuel venturi) it compresses air (reduces the spaces between the molecules to be exact) more molecules = more oxygen = more complete and rapid oxidation of fuel air mix which = more fire.

but you already know that, I was posting it for the noobie that discarded the important motorcycle parts that Mr. Honda put on there to make it work.

I think the intent Trials has in mind is laminar flow. The venturi speeds up the air and this creates a vacuum to pull fuel from the bowls. Well, in reality the atmospheric vent is what pushes the fuel into the vacuum created, but anyway...Tumbling air does a poor job of this and an orderly laminar flow actually allows more air to get through. The air isn't actually compressed to get more in, it is just stacked neatly so more fits.

Tinsnips you get it, so why can't the rest unless they are just playing devils advocate

Dude, what I'm saying is his motorcycle will work as good as it did before if he just puts the intake snorkels back on the carburetor mouth and he won't need to drop large coin to buy flatsides or make excuses why it isn't tuned right, where do you stand on that point because the rest of your discussion is moot.
