Cool! People still use those? I thought those things went out with the tide. I've always like 'em.

looked inside, nice fat 32mm chokes. I have a nice Porsche factory manual on these relics too.... for use on Carrera 4 cylinders.

I have heard they can be a real pain to tune properly, but I have never run them myself.. Alien here on the lounge has a pair in his old streetcar I think. I have a pair of totally worn out carbs on Sauer & Sohn manifolds and Porsche Knecht aircleaners as decoration in my livingroom   :D

I didnt know you could get 32mm vents for those, that's cool. Some big air horns on there would look the tits :)
