whats wrong with the twins?
Mitchell.

You might be able to find a single carby n mainifold at the swaps.

Takes me back to 1971 when i got my 1500 SP single carby ....
went straight to the wreckers n fitted up a set of Twins...

went like a rocket.

i don't have anything against twins other then living in the blue mountains and and having to travel to penrith and going though so much petrol getting up and down lapstone hill on the the m4, if i could set em up so i didn't go through so much petrol it would be sweet.
i don't over do it going up the hill but i go through about 15ltrs average in one round trip of about 60km traveling to penrith and back, being a student i have bugger all cash before i drive to class so i need to work out whats cheaper so i can get those panels you have mitchell to fix my door and get a new windscreen rubber to stop the waterfalls when it rains.
any advice is good advice is good advice and i could do with heaps of it.
cheers
Ben

Ben

there is something else the matter

I have a heavier air cooled vanagon 2L auto with twin solexes and on the run to Newmes and back from Drummoyne I averaged 8km per L and i dont think Daisy is at here best.
Around the burbs different story. The auto take 5-10 mins to find 3rd gear so the old home-school-shops-gym-home is only getting 6kn per liter.

BUT that is better than the 4 you are getting.
You leaking some where?
Auto or manual?
what motor?
