Webber 45s wanted

Hi

Its time to upgrade the xflow. Does anybody have a pair of the above for sale? Thought somebody might need some money towards their holiday.

Thanks

Hall

Go bike carbs mate. Cheaper most of the time and hardly ever go out of tune and when they do they aren't the headache that webbers can be.

Assuming the crossflow is around the 1600/1700 capacity, 45's might be a bit too big anyway.

As said by John unless its a really high spec crossflow, 45's are a bit big, you'd most likly need to down size the imulsion tubes, so it sorta defeats the purpose of fitting 45's

As already suggested I think 45s are way too big . I have 35mm T/Bs on my crossflow which will pull from 1,000RPM in top and up to 7,000 RPM through the gears and has 127BHP at the flywheel . You could get more BHP but probably at the expence of drivability . 40s or better still bike carbs would be the best bet

Hi Scoop. What type of bike carbs would I need? Is this a ploy of BEC owners to gradually ween a CEC owner over to the dark side?

My mate suggested the 45s and reduce the choke. He has years of knowledge in performance issues, not sure what he has in mind for the xflow, but I am willing to spend around £800. 45s may end up on a 20xe. What could I get for this money. There is a labour element to this as I am not experienced in this area.

Thanks
