Could anybody tell me whether it is easy or difficult to put a hif44 SU carb on a 998 engine and tune it to run okay?

I have heard that the hif44 will run nice on a 1275 but i have a cooper 998 and am having trouble with my twin su's.

Thanks Andy

Keep the twins and sort them out! why introduce an unknown Carb into the equation?

Hi,

Dont use a Hif44 on a 998, its too big a carburettor and the engine will not run correctly.

HIF38 or HS4 on  998, or as mentioned get the twin su's set up correctly.

The HIF44 is only useful on a 1275

Stay with the twins. There's lots of help on how to sort them. What problems are you having with them?
