1200cc dual singles?

[airstuff]

Which dual carb kits can be used on a stock 1200cc engine,to make it cool period looking engine?

[Aaron Britcher]

Fabricate some manifolds and a linkage then put some early Solex's on each side- simple, cheap, looks old. With some nice fuel lines or hose and some appropriate air cleaners, it could look very 'old'. Something along the lines of an old Okrasa motor visualy.

Stuff like this doesn't have to cost a fortune.

Nice carb kit,and a rare one ž

I am considering some other options to,what do you guys think about this kit:

i think is made to run on a 1600cc or more... not for 1200cc

Riechert in Germany is still making a kit for 36ers and 40 hp engines. The kit includes manifolds, linkage, air cleaners, seals, jets and all parts needed. They can provide you with 28PCI carbs too or you can buy your own locally. Send them a mail.

the cb-carbkit is not for 1200cc engines, but you can change jets and venturies.
send cb an e-mail and ask them about runing this carbs on a1200cc engine.
i can give riechert a call and ask about the price for their kits, but i think they are not the cheapest...

Thanks guys,

I wouldn't want to buy an expensive carb system for this motor.Also not doing it wright now,cause I have other expenses regarding the 2276cc I'm building,so I will leave it for later.

But I always look for ideas.

Like Aaron Britcher says, some home made manifolds (real simple) and a couple of Solex 28 PCI carbs (50's, manual choke) is all you need. A friend of mine has this setup on the original engine in his Ghia and it works really good. A little more power and better gas mileage than stock..

I used to have a VERY nice "Vanguard" dual carb setup for a 1200 - it used a pair of 28pict Solex's  and some VERY tall manifolds - I even think the guy that used to make and sell these kits is on here but I can't remember his name 

I do have some emails from this guy somewhere - I will dig them out

It was around 400E not long time ago. Nice price for a complete set without carbs I think..

Nope. manifolds do not fit on 1200 heads. they are designed for 15/1600, But a 1300 cc. engine could most likely benefit from them, - with a little jetting.

I was wondering if anyone made a comparison between those two carb kits:
http://cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=1180
http://cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=502
Those solexes and ICT's seem to be similar in size.
I have a single port 1600 in mind (definitely not a topic for Pure Racing forum )
