away from heat

easy access to carb tops

Philip, trying to see how the fuel rail connects to each carb.  I see the runners to each carb, but where are they specifically hooking up?  Am not as knowledgeable about Mikunis versus Webers.

Thanks!

I would guess that the normal fittings were replaced with banjo fuel fittings. I was thinking about doing this to my SUs before I converted them to throttle bodies.

They simply have the fittings facing out toward the driver-side fender. It is so compact that the straight banjo fittings for the short stubby fuel hoses are hard to see (at end of arrows):

It can be done and a DCOE too (as @SteveJ pointed out):

Not quite sure why one would need easy access to a set of Solex or Mikunis. Once set they don't have be touched for years. It is a very clean set-up but I'm not liking the routing of the line around the left side just above the header (now fuel entering is being preheated which is great for boilers but not so great for carbs).

You guys are spoiled.... you gotta pull the hose and lift that whole darn lid to set DCOE floats. Once set, they are fine but no fun when commissioning...... but

if you don't filter the carb vent (as in the photo above), you will be cleaning sludge and silt from the top and bottom of the carb internals sooner than you think ?
