how good is the swap from single to twin carbs!! (now with pic)

buzzbug · 2005-01-29T13:12:32+00:00

did the clean up, paint and fit of my twin kadrons today with the assistance of dave becker (cheers mate). after some initial delays with me installing a few things upside down during the rebuild we were set to install. after swearing and cursing while removing the old single set up, we scoured the shed for the parts i was missing and set about installing them. After painting the manifolds a pretty shade of yellow, they now look black from the oil and crap on our hands (leason learnt about painting things in the engine anything other than black) we had them set up and running and with a few fiddles with the mixture screws and idle i was off to enjoy the world of a little extra power. there were a few stalls at the lights but they seem to be running really sweet now. can't wait for the nationals drags to see how they go. Once again cheers Dave for your help, i think i owe you are fair few of these :beer:beer:beer Lee. [Edited on 29-1-2005 by buzzbug] [Edited on 31-1-2005 by buzzbug]
