Mikuni-solex carbs are only good for one thing.... the bin. The Weber option is far better.

okay.. buy why is weber so much better than mikuni-solex?

They both look pretty :D

and what about dellorto? is they any good?

 

the are 2 types of mikuni-solex right? one from japan and one from europe ( italy?? )

solexs just aren't as well-a refined carb as webers and dellortos, they got out of tune alot and if you're changing to sidedrafts they're not the way to go for the effort involved

 

weber vs dellorto. depends who you talk to :D the way i see it, webers are potentially a better carb, but more difficult to tune properly. dellortos are nearly comparable in their quality (flow, mixture changability, atomisation, etc) but easier to tune, so you can potentially get it right with dellortos easier than you can with webers

 

that's just from reading things on the internet and talking to people though, so i could be wrong. there's a speed-pro book about tuning sidedrafts, i've got it at home, i'll see what it says
