Nice one - if it's anything like the carbs on cheapo Chinese bikes it'll be absolute shite - look good on a Chinese V8 Xialong XL2060L :lol:

Why?
If it's not made in China, it's a fake!

No such thing, with an untried carburettor, custom manifolds, and these have many jets etc. But then again i need a laugh :D

I thought you were having a laff baptie - I look froward to the before and after dyno results.

Nah I'm serious, the carb type I'm using is very tunable and they have been used on many boxer type car engines, eg vw Porsche and Alfa romeo..

I had fcr41s in the past but sold them, my own carbs are worn massively, this is a cheap, tunable down draught carburettor, just need to make a manifold :D

I used to do a bit of work on downdraft Porsche carbs.
They were genuine Weber or DellOrto.
Problem with Chinese copies can be porosity of the castings, lot of Chinese mini bikes suffer from that :(

Hopefully I've not spent 115 quid on a table ornament... I nearly opted for a 40mm IDF clone Mince, but after a bit of digging about decided on a 44mm one, should be here this week!
