Dual throat "car" carb questions
« on: February 15, 2012, 08:03:36 pm »
Well read a bunch on here and other places but still have a few questions.
First is anyone have a good chart or link to jetting?

I just picked up a set of mikunis.
From what I have read they are early type Q carbs.  Not sure who made the manifold


While reading up on I cam across a pair of Dellorto 40s and thought that it would be interesting to try and run these on a different bike.
I would very much like to come up with a way to copy my manifold and run these types of carbs on more bikes.
But I ran into a problem....The dellortos dont share the same mounting?
I thought that solex mikunis and webers and dellortos all were interchangeable?
What gives?




I assume that there must have been a few different manifolds then, and i was wrong that they all were the same

 There is at least 5 different manifolds. Webers and Dells interchange , the Mikunis are different..

Left in both pictures is the dellorto.  on the right is the solex mikuni stripped for blasting and cleaning

I assumed wrong then that they all shared a foot print. 

Is anyone making any of the manifolds?
