Go with twin hif44. that will do nicely.

do you mean twin 1.25 ?

[bluebottle]

the single h.i.f. 44 will be more than adequate, and it will be easier to set up than the twins

Twin carbs are a nightmare, they go out of balance so quickly, you spend all your time tryin to keep them set up.

Its a big misconception about twin carbs anyway because the engine is only ever drawing fuel in one cylinder at a time, therefore only needing one carb. The only good thing about twin carbs is that the fuel is drawn in a straight line instead of round the curve of the single carb manifold.

A single HIF44 can give almost the same preformance as a Weber when its set up properly, at half the fuel expense!
