EdGarOvReAsy Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I wanted to know what kind of dual carbs I can put on an l16 and manifold?? Please help... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Well the L16SSS and L18SSS came (in Japan not here) with dual SUs on a manifold. They look like this: Many of these sets were imported on motors from Japan in the 80s and are still around. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Just make sure when you buy a setup it is complete, and hopefully on a running engine. Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 yea ive been trying to buy some new ones but haven't found a manifold Manifold with linkage! It is best to get it all at once, manifold, linkage, choke cables, air filter/filters and carbs, that is why you want it from a running engine. You can buy some new setups from places like Z threapy, it is new and expensive, but it is sure nice to ajust it and forget about it. Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Su carbs can be a pita from what I have read but once tuned properly they are flawless Quote Link to comment
EdGarOvReAsy Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 yeah i am still looking for some duel carbs, but i just got a carb and manifold off of Gene Knight Quote Link to comment

Tuning them is easy, and they can be tuned to the ragged edge(lean) if in servicable condition, I usually get them set and don't have to touch them again till the next time I pull the intake manifold.
