I forgot to mention, I can get a brand new linkage kit in Jo'burg from a carb place for R750. It's crazy.

If you add up all the stuff, one can actually lean to bike carbs like this other guy that recently posted fitting Keihin carbs to his 1400. They apparently also work with needles like SU's that you can space with washers to get correct A/F ratio. And also bore the jet to get more fuel.

Why don't you buy them for yourself then?

You know what the problem is. It's the chokes,jets,etc and also if they are a matching pair. I have looked at quite alot of Webers and Dellortos. I even have a set of Dellortos. I can't find any chokes,jet,etc for them to fit and work with a A12 engine. I got hold of someone that can import the chokes at R400 a choke. I will need 4.
Then I will need someone with a HUGE range of jets and tubes to tune it correctly. Webers is easier. Dellortos very difficult. I actually wanna get rid of them but no one wants them.
Webers I looked at were in $hitty condition or not even closely a matching pair.
It will for me be easier to just get rid of my GX stuff that is currently not needed and put a nice already close to correct setup on the engine.

Maybe this will help, I can get the following: R800 for two 40DCOE carbs (not jetted for 1200 or 1400 in my case) and a intake manifold for them for between R800 and R1200.
Need to find out if the linkage kit is included. Then I will still need some ram tubes and filters.

setups on ebay without the original airbox have been going for 600 and up to 750
airboxs are rare as rocking horse sh!t here in aus i had to get mine imported from japan cost me around 300 landed
exhaust manifolds are also rare as rocking horse sh!t here to a heap of them went to the great black hole of kinnear5 or whatever his name is very rarely do they trade on the open market you pretty much have to ask around and hope someone wants to sell one
id value them at around 200-400 for one
so i spose your looking at around 1200 for a full setup
but very rarely people want the whole setup just want the carbs more then anything

Hi all
After some much thought I want to do the following:
I have bought some time ago a complete GX engine.Now I have the following idea.
I want to swap the following for a complete Weber 40 DCOE setup. It must consist of matching pair of webers setup for a worked A12 engine, soft mounts, linkage kit and possibly an intake manifold.
What I have to offer:
100% complete and original GX intake setup. From airbox to intake manifold. I am willing to respray the airbox in the original orange color that we got them here in.
Hitachi SU's I cleaned myself and checked for wear. Almost no wear on the butterflies.
Soft mounts for the Su's.
Intake manifold and linkage kit.
I am also willing to throw in a GX exhaust manifold.

Why I am not putting this in the classifieds is because I first want to hear what you guys think if I am not a bit ridiculous about my swap idea.
