Hi, can anyone tell me what's the better carbie option to maximise mini engine performance? Is it using a weber or an su? What are the benefits, differences or downside of either option? What size su or weber is best? |

It mainly comes down to the size and modifications to the engine. What are your engine's specs? |

so would having a webber on a presummed stock 1100 have any benefits or is it just a waste? Cheers James |

Sounds nice! but yeah, a waste of $$$ and fuel. Spend the money on a decent extractors/exhaust ![]() |

Cheers James I had a 40DHLA dell'orto on my stock 1098, it went great and sounded nice. Had I put in a slightly warmer cam, duplex timing chain and maybe a little bit of head work it would have gone very well. Does use a bit more petrol, but on a Dell'orto you can manually adjust the accelerator pump which probably helps. The trick is to have it jetted properly (ie on a dyno), or else likely as not you'll just wash your rings with petrol. |

Thanks. Thats great. It a hot 1275 does the usage of a weber over a 1.75" make a big difference if any? |

Yeah, but only if it's in a high state of tune. Mate of mine has a hot 1275 (100hp odd I think) and he upgraded from a 1.75" SU to a 45DCOE on a 6" manifold, it made a fair difference. But he's like me, he likes the noise of a weber ![]() |
