Bike Carbs for ford 1.4cvh engine
richardh - 1/9/11 at 06:43 AM

Hi, i'm currently running a weber 38 on my 1.4 cvh engine and i doubt its set up properly.
Is it worth going down the bike carb route / throttle bodies or efi?
I've no idea which carbs would fit or how to connect them up and tune them.

Wanting to keepm it as much locost as possible

why not have the carb you have set up correctly first? You might be pleased with the running and not want to change. If you get another carb/EFI system on the car, you are going to have to pay to have that set up anyway and by tuning your carb it will be cheaper as you already have it

did sort of think about that. all the others in my class are running on bikes or twin carb setups so i'm guessing there is a reason behind it.

I can do you a CVH manifold to suit whatever carbs you buy - or a full carb/manifold package if needed. PM me for further info.

I'v got a set of bike carbs with 32mm rear of carb ports, ideal for a 1.4 and they are mint.
