Yeah that's a good un'. Whitesedan and I were talking this over just the other day as he borrowed my sytec top mount setup (magard style) and used that sort of bridging linkage with a balancing screw between the two.

He insisted that it can be made out of a couple of stock hitachi carbs, I completely forgot about this. I'll give that a go and ditch the second arm.

I'd like to try Webers and Dellortoes one day just to get to the bottom of which is best.

For Solex/Mikuni's, I like the;

- Built in vacuum feed lines, easy to route to dizzie could be used for synchronizing(?)

- Plastic fuel bowl floats- less likely to break, cheaper to replace.

- Facet pump design easily adjustable - split pin & 3 holes on the end of the connecting rod for macro adjustment + threaded connecting rod for micro adjustment.

- Starter disc/cold start mechanism; these are located on top of the carb secured by a circlip/e-clip and can be easily checked whislt carbs are fixed.

What I don't like;

No access cover over the progression holes, subsequently the carbs have to be removed to inspect them.

Pain in the arse to tune.

Parts are difficult to source, I resort to a US supplier.
