It seems strange that the Mikuni-solexes are cheaper down under... Here in the USA they sell used about 20-30% more expensive than new Webers! Ddgonzal is right on the money when he said the Solexes were the #1 choice for vintage Datsuns. No self respecting Datsun racecar would run Webers when Mikunis are available. Although those carbs are discontinued, parts and jetting is still available from Rebello race engines and Wolf Creek Racing. It has been my understanding that for the same choke size, a Weber will flow slightly more than a Mikuni, and a Dellorto will outflow either(Doesn't really matter though, 'cause you can just go up in choke size.)The Mikuni, however does stay synced and in tune best, plus they're super easy to change chokes and jetting. I had a pair of 44 Mikunis on my 510 for 4 years and they never needed adjustment! They'll be going on my 1200 road race car.
