[QUOTE="Austin, post: 232194, member: 13893"] Hi, been meaning to put twin carbs on my bus for ages, but i really dont want any running problems so i dont know if i should do it, or would it be a good idea?, i have had twin 45's on a 16v mk1 and mk2 golf, no problems there at all, i had twin kadrons on my old fasty in '96 they never really worked properly, and cold starting was a problem, but at the time i didnt care becuase i had a sweet fasty!! so you can see i know the score with having carbs. so is it a good idea with a SP 1600 engine? in the long run i'd like to keep the engine, as it works so well, has no end float, and now doesnt leak any oil. I'll only replace it if it breaks beyond repair, or i come in to some money to get a bigger one!! So, are they any good on a SP engine? which ones works best? can you get electric chokes that are hassle free? i've had a look about in all the usual places, but most only show carbs for TP engines. it would be cool if someone could point me in the right direction. cheers Austin [/QUOTE]
