Time for a little more power

[Jonny69]

A little package turned up in the post today.

Well actually there were two:

What's inside:

Ooo it's a matched pair of brand new 45 Webers!!!

I decided that running oversize chokes in my ancient 40's wasn't ideal for power or economy, they needed a rebuild, plus they didn't match up to the manifold without a step. Upgrade was in order, so once I've sold off all my 40 DCOE kit it shouldn't look as expensive as my bank balance suggests

They'll be going on when I pull the engine out for the rebuild.

Damn, rumbled. My friend came round and did the same

hmm,..........shiny stuffs, but what does it do?

 

[Jonny69]

Makes a load of noise most of the time. The rest of the time it mixes the fuel with the air on a huge scale

I can't believe someone is asking what a carburettor does!

/mumbles to self about youth of today and only comprehending MPI.

If you don't mind letting us know, how much were they out of interest?

Bring on the trumpets!

They were best part of £500. I'm not normally one for spending that much but it's a worthy upgrade in my eyes and I'll finally get the most out of my engine

Bring on the trumpets!

Indeed! I need to swap those trombones for some short 16mm trumpets for clearance though

Not cheap. Bike carbs didn't tempt you?

They do look gorgeous mind - and fittingly period.

Was thinking the same thing.

They do look supurb though
