I love to observe the fuel spray pattern at a steady 2500 or so RPM.

Amazing carbs & SO simple. They work on the CVVV principle. (Constant velocity, variable volume.) Bill W.
Thanks Bill
I think they look good too, Air cleaners may be a problem as the front carb gets closer to the hood. I started making some bug screens last night. I like the look of ram tubes also, air cleaners will hide some of the carb, not sure what I will do. I have found some narrow air cleaners on ebay UK
