IDA help (previously) IDA love (now)

More help requests later in the post. I'm intending to run some IDAs because they're cool. I've got some short SCAT manifolds and a CB Performance hex bar linkage which I just discovered are not a good combination. The SCAT manifolds have the carbs 180 degrees out from where the linkage requires. The adjustment screws and float bowl plug face the fan. The linkage rotates to the outside rather than inside. What's the best solution? Plan A get CB Performance manifolds. But they'll be too tall and I don't want to modify then engine lid. Plan B get CSP short manifolds. BUT they're $389 + freight. Plan C stick with the scat manifolds and get a Berg GB 451 linkage which apparently works with these manifolds. I hear short IDA manifolds are hard to find. TIA CT

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the advice.

I'm going to check the top float level with a cardboard template. I'm going to check the distance to the needle and seat from the top of the carb with a tread depth gauge. Then I'm going to use copper washers for the banjo fittings and lock wire the bolt so it doesn't come loose.

Cheers.

this link may help

Understanding what transition is and how it works in the Weber IDF and Dellorto DRLA carburetor. These principles do apply to some other models with similar architecture, such as IDA, DCNF, DCOE, etc.

The engine idles smoothly and pulls hard right through the rev range. I was surprised. The IDAs feel almost the same as the IDFs. I'm a happy camper. But I'll see how they go in Sydney traffic on Friday. Then on the freeway to Goulburn. Then at Wakefield Park on Saturday. They're so cool. Fingers crossed.

That sounds like a good idea to run the berg linkage.
Coolest old skool set up going around is the look of idas and a berg linkage imho
