I wondered about bike carbs but price and tuning plus I've not really looked at how room there is. 

At this point just to get it in the road a nice simple twin choke carb appeals to me.  As soon as more carbs are added with the wrong jets and or needles it becomes an expensive mess to tune. 

I could always inject it in the future  with speeduino but then the cert plate won't match.

I like this. A lot. Good work guys!

Jetting bike carbs = a set of micro drills. 

Seriously though, single carb is lame for this wee beasty! I'm happy to do you a manifold but I'm sure you could whip something up easily from steel for a cheap. I made a set using cheap 34mm carbs for the Sunny in no time a while back and I am by no means a fabricator. 

p.s. we need A40 Farina vs Imp battles. Both A12 power.

I could cut the inlet down and graft on pipes and flanges in alloy for sure. But is meant to be a quick turn around have some fun and sell on type project. 

Until I discover I love driving it and can't let it go.....

Sounds like a great project, my first car was an Imp and some years later my mate and I built this one for dirt track racing - then dumped it when finished after selling the very modified engine to another friend for his road car. Seems a waste now as it was a realy tidy one.

It has twin carbs on it too.  Whats that rego number area? Chch? its early yeah?

 

(Oh damn... barry alert. I've just asked about Rego numbers)

Yep we picked up a factory set of twin carbs ($25), ported the head, got the cam ground. Was a bit silly realy it had nothing until about 5000 rpm the  it would pull round to 7 K plus. 

I am from Ashburton so I guess Barry is correct about the number plate. - Can't remember the year

I also have plan. A really big plan. Its in the future and it'll be pretty damn cool. I'm not going to say a thing more. You'll like it. It involves several of my building passions. Just watch and see. I'm excited! :-)

 

 

Does it involve wood, pushbike parts, and a composting toilet?
