what about Twin 42's?

I have a set on my coupe on an balanced a12

I recall someone telling me a very long time ago, that the only difference between webers and dellortos is that webers have roller bearings for the butterfly rod (Chris, can you verify??)

I agree with most here, don't be seduced by "bigger is better"... I once had a TA22 Celica with a massaged 2T-G, with twin 40mm Mikuni Solexes and that pulled strongly to 8K.

But at the end of the day, whether you go Weber, Dellorto or Mikuni Solex, the sound they make will definitely make all the frigging around to set them up definitely worth your while!

Nah dellortos have bearings on the throttle shaft/spindle just as the webers do. The mikuni's don't (although some are bushed) and of all the Mikuni's I've come across they've had fewer hesitations in the return and no ceased throttle shafts. The webers and dellortos are sometimes more prone to this as the bearings cease up (the dust covers degrade or water somehow makes its way in there).

This dude needs to read up on carbs first he's just wanting an answer right away without even thinking about it. Whether they are 45's or 40's doesn't really mean shyte at these capacities provided they share the same choke size, sure there will be a difference but it will be a very minor sacrifice of low rpms and a very minor gain in the high rpms. I mean minor....negligible.

If you're wanting a straight off answer then do; eeny meeny miny moe and pick whichever one your digit lands on. There really is little difference but instead it is a preference.

I have not seen any mikuni's in my searches the only ones ive found are webers and dellortos.
anyone got a like or something where i can do a little bit of research?

i havnt came across any 42's ether but have herd of them.
rick kelly use to have a pair on a wild A14 in a 1200 coupe when he was back in mildura as a toy out on the farm. not sure what he ever did with them though.
