Hi Ian   thanks for reply. So if I wanted to fit these would it be possible or would you buy 2nd hand dellorto 40s. And with both these options would I need the manifold at £248   thank you again

This is an EX engine (1.8 carb from eg a Clipper) right? Personally I'd go for the standard setup, because twin carbs are going to get expensive for little overall gain. With the standard or a replacement single Weber, you have a good chance of obtaining the carb with

* Linkage ready to use
* Jetted as appropriate
* Air filter, oil/crankcase breather, etc all easily obtainable

If you go the twin carb route and try to adapt eg those Beetle ones, you'll need to think about the above and its all little bits and bobs which will add up.

ETA with it not being a crossflow, intake air is always going to be a compromise unless you use or copy the standard air filter arrangement too...

AAM engine code so out mk3 I believe

That's the 75bhp one. I had one once, its kinda the opposite to today's small capacity-high output VW turbos, its a really big capacity but with low power. I am assuming due to the cam fitted in it?

Nope those carbs won't fit or work.

You need either Dellorto DHLA's or Weber DCOE carbs. These known as side draft carbs as they sit horizontally.

IDF carbs are downdrafts as, surprise surpirse, they sit vertically.

And yes if you go down the twin carb route you will need the manifold at £248. They do crop up second hand on occasion but not often.

You'll then need the linkage and throttle pedal cable set up. These vary from around £50 up to a couple of hundred depending on spec etc.

If you buy the carbs second hand they will probably need rebuilding and jetting to suit as well.

As Paulc says it gets expensive quite quickly.

Unless you defo want to go down this route (the noise is great and you do get some extra power, about 10-20%) then I'd stick with the normal carb set up.

That coming from someone who runs twins and bike carbs and a 'normal' set up as well.
