Well, today I finally ripped the single HS4 off Barney, and put Baracade's old twin HS4s on him. 8)
Bling! is confined to the S/S heatshields and Ramflo filters. I'm not shiny anal like some people here... Gafmo?? :wink:
So now under the bonnet he looks like a (Police pack) Cooper S- almost.
Except... it's a 1293 A+ block, and missing the S head stud & bolt, and it's a 1316 smog head anyway.. :lol:

They've got CP4 needles in, similar to #6, feel a bit lean to me- we might just have to run him on the Vane dyno at Mini Classic and pick some richer ones... :P
Edit> He's OK until the 270* cam & Toyota rockers kick in at 3000 rpm..

ps I ran Ha-Ha on MiniClassic's rollers last Friday... :shock:
Power I got was about the same as GR's personal 1400 stroker..

I've had 'em for years- I got some payment for services rendered, in carbys! :shock:
I think we valued them at $250 back then. Worth silly money now- I think Mike got $400+ on eBay for a set of HS2s! :lol:

How do you tell what type of carbs you have? HS2/4, HIF44/38, etc?

It all depends on the size of the inlet or dash pot can't remember but the hs2 is 1.5 inch hs4 is 1.75inch and so on and so forth but the doc knows.

Does this mean you have a shiny.... never mind :roll: :wink:

what sort of benefits do twin carbys have over the single? oobvioulsy more fuel into the system so its gonna go faster yeah? but how much of a bastard is it to have them linked up or whatever you have to do to them?

Compared to a single SU, twins give better torque. And on a decent manifold (not a BMC one) thay DO give more power than a big single SU.
LH/RH ones come with linkages already, pretty easy to adjust and they do stay in tune- provided the shafts etc are not worn bad.

And of course they look `the business'- all the Coopers had them. Must be good...

It's going OK now... but it's not a rocket like my 1360 is.
Need to fiddle with different needles a bit. Wonder what the ign timing is too... :oops:

They aren't needed.

I have a Brickworx Racing special on mine.

I think its been blocked, but still has the tube on it.

I took it off. 8)
Cooper S never had 'em. Neither did Alfas, Fiat twin cams, etc.
All they really are is an `economy device' that gives more advance at part throttle. When you nail it, the vac advance drops back to zero. It's supposed to...... anyhow :roll:
I might refit it later, after I suss out the ign timing. Right now I have NFI what it's set at. :wink:

That's good! :lol: It's how they work....
Anyhow, if I leave it off, it's one less thing to f*** up. 8)

Gaf,
It's actually not going too bad now, after I balanced the carbs and screwed the jets down a bit, and a bit, and a bit more... :wink:
