Thanks for the responses. So are you saying that they can be effective on a stock L24? I am not concerned with originality, but rather performance. The current owner says they are way too much carb for the engine and seems to think it will never run smooth with them on there.
I'm thinking seriously about buying a 72' 240 but for show purposes, the owner put triple mikuni carbs on it that cause it to lag badly. I would want to replace them immediately. The engine is the original L24. What would be my options? Also, would there be a market for selling the old ones? The owner claims you could get 1500 for them (doubtful). Thanks!
