Type 4 to 1600 interchanging parts
old skool - December 1st, 2008 at 08:05 PM

Hi Gang :)
Have just been given a 1600 type 1, twin port, it is missing a dizzy and carbie,
I have a 1800 type 4 with twin carbies and a blown crank case,
QUESTION: Can I use one of the carbies or both of the Type 4 on the 1600, will the Type 4 distributer work on the type 1

Are their any other parts of the Type 4 motor that will fit onto the type 1

Old Skool aka Leigh.

the carby manifold for the T4 is too wide for T1. so no.
not sure about the dizzy?

Hi

The dizzy is interchangeable, it may have a slightly different advance curve
