| A mild 1600 with some small twin carbs will be fun to drive. Single port heads look more "old timey" though. |

| You could try this... [url=https://www.maehnz.de/riechertmotorentechnik/de/verg_2xsolex34pci-e-expl.htm]Riechert Tuning Twin carbs.[/url] I´m sure there are other kits too, or you can use a 1500S Notchback carb set-up, if you can find one. |

| if you want to run your kit, you should first solve the problem with the angle of the carbs becaus if the should run in the shown angle ( not 90deg to the horizontal) they would permanent overflow with fuele or will get less fuel... the line betwenn the manifolds makse the synchronisation easyer, and also "preasure balance line" |
