Snakehead carburetor top cap

An integrated throttle cable guide makes an extremely flat construction of this brilliant Crazy Monkey Development Snakehead carburetor top cap possible. This saves a lot of space.

A touch of genius comes with the throttle cable guide, which is integrated in the screw-able Snakehead top cap: it saves a lot of space and turns without stop. Which means, that the carburetor top cap and the throttle cable may turn freely by 360°, always being perfectly positioned.

This fine carburetor top cap profits of a modern production and is made of finest technical nylon (PA), which makes damage almost impossible, even if used in extreme racing.

What‘s so unique about these ingenious carburetor caps is their extremely flat body construction, giving you a lot of extra space under the side panel. With the Vespa Largeframe models for instance, the caruburetor hitting the frame is avoided. The Lambretta also doesn’t have that much space near the fuel tank or the toolbox and the Smallframe has cramped conditions anyway.

The caps are a main asset to any moped or scooter with a corresponding carburetor.

The integrated throttle cable routing with no end stop is a true stroke of genius. This means that the twisting carburetor cap and the throttle cable can be turned 360°, thus allowing it to be in an optimum position at all times. The throttle cable runs a lot smoother because of this.

Indestructable and easy to assemble

Each carburetor cap is made with love for racing and from very fine technical nylon (PA) using the most recent production methods.

Race proven

Marco Abate of the Pacemaker SC Deggendorf has been very successful in scooter racing at the European Scooter Challenge (ESC). He already had the opportunity to try out the Snakehead carburetor cap. This is his feedback on the caps:

… The guys really used their brains and developed something useful. The finish is great… First of all you want take off the old cap: take out the throttle slide, the spring and the O-ring and put them on the new cap. The O-ring housing has a nice and firm fir and is deep enough. The slightly longer slider spring routing is convincing as well. Here I see the advantage that the spring doesn’t lose as much tension through slipping as on the Dell’Orto cap. When letting go of the throttle you already feel it, at least this is the case with my racing scooter. Alright, now put on the cap and fasten it using the existing bolts of the old cap. Readjust the throttle and off you go on a first trial lap… First impression: Excellent…Marco Abate
