What carb would people recommend I use for this engine.
I had considered twin SUs (who's done it?)
A single webber/delorto side draught
A down draught (thought I would prefer not to have it sticking out the top of the bonnet)
Anyone got a carb/manifold for sale?
Cheers.

on this note, can you use twin 40's or is this a bit overkill?

Twin choke webber dgv with ITG foam filter. Only the foam bit sticks up from bonnet so should be fine for IVA.

36-38mm bike carbs?

A modification that I did many years ago was to get a standard twin choke Ford manifold and put the SU straight on the end, machining and welding a flange on the end.
This was on a 1300 X/Flow. It was a good job and run really well. Infact Ford did investigate and tested using the SU in the 80's, but used that horrible single choke 'V V' thing instead.

R6 5eb carbs.............

I missed one of these on eBay. Does anyone here have one to sell?
