I am currently building a mildly tuned 1275 road legal track day minni and just wondering wether to use a 1 1/2 hif carb or 1 3/4 carb? which would be more reliable and which would be best suited really??? any coments, help, advice would be much appreciated.

thanks,

Chris

If it's anything more than a stage one tuned 1275 then you really need a 1+3/4" carb (i.e a HIF 44) as a 1+1/2" carb is more suited to 998's and standard 1275's.

Hif 44 with what you've said mate, lots of needle info about on what will get you in the ball park if your to far away from a rolling road.
