has anyone tried using type 3 carbies on an upright engine. What manifolds and linkages did you use to clear the fan housing etc.

use the stock short manifolds, modify some type 3 linkage. motorcycle air filters.
the hardest part is getting the linkage to clear the genny.

hi,
ive done it to a few upright engines with good results
there is bit of fiddly stuff and welding but it can be done
this was the first set i converted bout 4 years ago, they were from a late type 3 auto and had the 2 vacum ports on the side of each manifold which dont agree with upright tin ware
i cut them off welded them up and drilled out the other side as per early style ones then made up a new balance tube outta 3/8 ssoft drawn copper
yeah i coulda just got earlier manifolds but thats easier said than done
linkages need abit of rearranging cant remmber what i drilled the jets out to

yeah went real well nothing compared to webers or dells but very similar perfomace to kads
they should work fine on a 1300 twin port just have to play around with the jetting
i got a pair in a box of bits i got a few years back and thought why not give it a try
noticeble differnce over a 34pict 3 and even better again with extractors (not just a bored out standard box lol)
that engine died in style, kicking the arse of dunnydore

Shameless plug time, I've got a pair of these on ebay at the moment, with both single and twin port manifolds. Linkage not complete & no air filters.
