My personal nightmare

[wristpin]

Its a 32?

 

[wristpin]

Id believe that a 32 would respond real well to a healthy 74" to mild 96". Like any other engine keeping air velocity up is most important.

 

[IMBVSUR?]

I put dual 42 Mikunis with non combined runners on a stroked and bored 02 CVO Wideglide for a customer. A little jetting and some balancing it ran great, however I thought the carbs were too big. Be it Harleys or automobiles, most people don't seem to understand the carbs so they demonize them.

45mm throttle plates 32mm chokes

Thats going back.on the MG?

 

[La Hot Rods]

Yes, 1960 MGA 1600

wristpin: These were not Slide carbs. Maybe they were Solex carbs. I can't remember. These carbs were weird looking. Definately, nothing like Mikuni M/C carbs.

 

[wristpin]

I never got to screw around with Solex. Its been so long since i saw one i forget what it looks like...butterfly, CV, slide, etc. I gotta google Solex to refresh my mind

 

[wristpin]

Lol i just saw a Solex in Feb at swap meet for bike parts. It was labeled as Linkert so i didnt look at it past few seconds. As far as what went shooting out i dont know. Perhaps it was a counterweight spring for floats or external spring as there are several.

Beautiful job James. Did Tooth put it back together for you?

 

[La Hot Rods]

Now that's funny

 

[Tooth]

Never underestimate the ability of the TOOTH !!! Somethings are easier than they appear! Watch…

Especially when you have the tools and know how. Interesting.

 

[boxerdog]

OK, so maybe this is interesting (or not) It's a Branch Solex/Mikuni setup for an ironhead Sporty or a Shovel. I liked the look, ran it on a stroker ironhead, but it needed a needle and seat and I was in a hurry. Been on the shelf ever since, all those old bikes are gone and forgotten!

 

[La Hot Rods]

What size is it?

 

[boxerdog]

2 x 36mm throttle bores.

 

[wristpin]

2 x 36mm throttle bores.

James has first dibs. Ill take second dibs

 

[boxerdog]

Dibs?? You mean I'd have to clean it up etc. ??

Tooth did a great job for James on the Weber. Feel free to send it to James as is. Tooth can clean that one up for James or I
