Thought I should grab a quick vid of them running just before I removed the engine:

A12T twin carb set. Oval port manifold. Suit A14/A15.

I bought them incomplete with the carbs missing throttle plates, throttle shaft, linkage and a float. I fitted a pair of L18 Hitachis with the bigger L series insulator blocks and the L series heat shield, which had to be cut and overlapped to fit on the A series manifold due to the carbs being closer together on the Aseries. I swapped the A12T needles into the L series carbs. Shortened the L series linkage to suit and fitted a throttle cable pull arm to the linkage. Brazed up one of the brass floats and tested OK.
IMS system has been deleted. I made some alloy cover plates to blank off the IMS ports.
Also liked the chokes to they work off one choke cable.

I fitted them to the motor and they run. Needles and seats work. Floats float. No fuel leaks. They need tuning and balancing - they do not run well at all yet - I don't have a carb balancer and haven't had time to mess around with them so selling them as-is with a bunch of spares - the old A12T carb bodies and fuel bowls, and left over parts from the L series carbs I used - pistons, needles and dampers etc

$300
