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?

998/1100 stock to medium mods - 1.5" SU
998/1100 high mods (hot cam, hot head, extractors) - 1.5" SU, 1.75" SU or twin 1.25" SU

Standard 1275 - 1.5" SU, 1.75" SU or twin 1.25" SU's
1275 medium mods - 1.75" SU, twin 1.25" SU's
Hot 1275 - 1.75" SU, twin 1.25" SU's, twin 1.5" SU's, 45 Weber

That's a VERY ROUGH guide!

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 :wink:

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 :)
