Twins to single carb

Post by rossco »

Hi all

After some feedback

Got twin stombergs ATM on a 'monaro motors' manifold coupled with pacemaker extractors

Thinking of switching back to a single carb

Have heard 1 and 6 will run lean with only 1 carb

Any thoughts?

1 and 6 will be glad to be rid of that useless and worthless extra carb......



How much do you want for it (that worthless and value-free manifold.....)?

Got any pics?

I had X2 set up on a red motor for about 4 years, ran fine but for some reason I thought I would put a single carb on, I got at least 20% more power with the single carb :shock: .

I have a 186 so I used Stromberg 1 5/32 size.
The twins were Stromberg 1 3/32 size.

Fair point, any recommendations for a manifold?
