Title: Running IDAs the wrong way round Post by: vwhelmot on October 02, 2015, 19:47:44 pm I've had to buy another set of manifolds as my tall skat traks were too tall and now the shorter set means that the carbs are turned around (the fuel inlets face the engine bay sides).
What linkage is the best to use, I've fabricated a berg style one but not sure if I will use it. Will a csp bell crank one do the job, the levers on the carbs are now facing outwards.

I use a copy of the old Deano centre pull linkage , so I guess a csp one would work . Or get a Deano one .

levers. :) (http://s18.postimg.org/fhpf2utwp/20150927_113043.jpg) (http://postimage.org/) free photo hosting (http://postimage.org/) Title: Re: Running IDAs the wrong way round Post by: kever65 on October 03, 2015, 22:06:38 pm I ve got a csp center mount and it woks with the same manifolds as yours.
good luck Title: Re: Running IDAs the wrong way round Post by: K-Roc on October 06, 2015, 16:54:52 pm Short manifolds that keep the carbs right way around.

It's a bit of a shame really, I spent a tonne of time fabricating a berg style linkage out of aluminium and it will work with the manifolds too but it doesn't look right. The mount is very close to the stack on the left side and it looks too busy. I'm building the motor to look fairy minimal so the csp will work out great.
