JiP Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Another carbies question... I bought this set of twins a year or two ago. I can't remember what they are called. Can anyone help?? And what do I need to get them running?? This LYNX manifold also came with it. Again, what type of carbie does it suit?? Lastly, these carbies. What are they and what do I need to get them on my car?? Quote
Redwarf Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) They;re twin SU's. Don't know what size, although some can tell by the stud pattern. The bottom carbs are either Dellortos or Solexs. (I've only ever had webers, so I find it hard to tell.....) You'll need to probably rebuild them, get a manifold, put them on and send it to the dyno. Budget $700 to $1000 to get spot on, and forget about fuel economy. For a daily I'd be looking at setting up the SU's. Edited October 17, 2008 by Redwarf Quote
JiP Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Posted October 17, 2008 Yeah, well the bottom ones could be more economical that my current carbs. I had them tested today as I thought the car has been idling high. I'm told that at 2000rpm its consuming around 7-14x what it should be. (I can't remember what form of measurements that he told me.) No wonder I've been chewing through fuel. Quote
philbey Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I was bidding on those SU's as well. Looking back you got a good price on them Jip! The bottom items must be solex's they don't look like Dellortos. I recall that the same seller was selling a second LYNX K Series manifold, is that item the same as the other one? If it is I'd be interested in buying it from you. The LYNX gear usually have part numbers cast into them Quote
