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've got dibbs!!!!!!)

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

I will post some pics after the weekend but I wasn't intending to sell any bits.
Trev, what sort of carbie did you use?

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?
