1776 engine, what carb/s??
Just an idea in my head, going up to 1776 what carbs are best suited? Currently running stock 1600 with a 34-3. Whats smallest carb possible without
hindering performance? I don't want ridiculous performance just a nice bit of grunt under my right foot!

All carbs will effect performance
I have run a 1916 with a 34 Pict and I have run 1600's with dual DRLA 40's
A 1776 with a 34 Pict, mild cam and exhaust would give you a 20-25% increase in power.
You wont shred tyres but you will notice the difference

was thinking twin 34's (weber or baby dell's), wasn't planning on changing cam as idealy didn't want to split case. Recently changed bearings and
car has done approx 500miles since with no problems. Just want that 'little bit extra'.#
Good to know that the stock 34 will be ok on a larger cc engine.
I didnt want to put too small a carb/s on a bigger engine that could make engine possible run really bad through not enough fuel/mixture.

Good answer Barry
I've seen a 34 PICT running on a 2.2 litre, anything can 'work', it's a trade off, performance to simplicity, power to torque. A million
combinations out there, some are better than others.

A carby is a fuel metering device, the air that goes thru it gets fuel mixed with it, that is what it does, hopefully at a consistant 14:1 Air:fuel
ratio. A bigger engine pulls more air through the carb, the carb will still mechanically add the fuel, it's what it does.
I have taken 48 IDA Webers from a 2.8 litre and used them on an 1835, no worries, the jetting changes are more about setting the carb to match the
style of enging/power delivery. A Weber jetted for a Alfa will need different jetting than a VW
The smallest Weber or Dellorto dual throat carbs made are 36mm which work well on a smaller engine, 1600-1800 cc

You are going to have to split the case to make it a 1776

G'day Dubbers,
I need a replacement carbie for a baja I just bought. I was told it's 1800cc but I'm going to assume it's just a standard 1600 twin port. So, I've
heard that a single carb setup is not going to be very effective for around town general driving and I should get a twin carb set up. I'm worried
that twins will create problems with sand on the beach and would prefer a simple single down draught for ease and cost effectiveness. What are your
thoughts/opinions? adlbeetle66, I really like the look of your setup. Did you have to replace the intake manifolds?
Cheers.

You "should" run pre-heat tubes
Singles work so much better with them
They keep the fuel atomized - in suspension
They are also needed to stop the carb spinning in the end castings
You will need to make up some sort of bracket otherwise

Pre-heater tubes.... are they the ones that run from the big manifold tube to the exhaust manifolds near where they attach to the heads? The EMPI kit
I'm looking at has them included I think.

That is them. They fit into that very cast bit on the bottom below the tubes
