I may have the option on a mint 40mm Weber. Barney is a mild 1293 and I'm wondering if I should go down the Weber route. A bit of Googling suggests it may be a slight step backwards in terms of performance, but I love the gurgling noise. 
Thoughts? |

If it's cheap I'd buy it and try it. You can always sell it on if you don't like it. Benefits- Stays in tune (no linkages in there between the throats, no needles to wear, no throttle shaft wear) Weber `music' Easy to remove/replace (5 mins or less, try that with yer twin HS4s on the manifold with the heatshield) Throttle response Downsides- Fuel economy, but not too bad if you jet it for the road using an A/F meter. Limited manifold choices without a Weber box in the firewall (PLEASE don't buy a Lynx tall gooseneck one)- a Redline/Warneford 3005 is the best available that fits with a filter. |

Doc, it's like your sitting there waiting for my inane questions! Dad's just picked up a 45 for the Major and he will have a 40 sitting there. Yet to negotiate on it. Not sure what chokes its running either. Stay tuned (pardon the pun). |

IMO a 40DCOE is a bit small for a 1275, unless it's near stock. But your 1293 isn't modded much, the cam is just a Wade or Tighe 104 with Corolla rockers, and it still has 1100S sized inlet valves.. |

So it would be comparable to the twin HS4s at the moment. I'm really just chasing the "music", but I don't want to give too much away in terms of performance. Not too worried about fuel consumption, even in view of my recent efforts (running out of juice twice within a week). ER |
