hey guys building my motor at the moment , got a 1275 got the head off getting lots of work got a set of 1.5 roller tip rockers ex u.k and new aldon dizzy for it , was planing on putting a webber on it, i have a brand new redline manifold that has been ported and .
just come to a cross roads weather its the right parth to do down. what do you reckon would be the go.

there are lots of opinions on it...

for out and out power but maybe not ideal drivability, use a weber

for about the same power and very nice drivability, 1 3/4" SU

forget about twin SU's

If you're after power and only power, go the webber. If this is a regular drive, I'd go a single Hs6 or HI44.

I've heard some people rave about dellorto carbies on minis (including the doc, I think).

Nothing looks sexier than a set of twin SU's on an A-series

pfft x 3 - dellorto is the only carb that makes a mini engine bay look sexy

Single 1 3/4 carb on decent inlet is a very good fuel effective carb with plenty of power without the hassle of re tuning oftern. A good ram pipe or srub stack in the filter works well.

Single 45 DCOE webber / dellorto is a great carb also, once it's set up correctly, which can be a pain in the arse. These work very well and are probably the ultimate with a long manifold which will mean cutting your bulkhead.

Twin H4 SU's are also great for power when used with a decent ram pipe and give a very nice classic look if thats what your after.

Twin 1 1/4 would probably be the bottom of the list for power output.

It's Weber people..........not Webber.

And I believe the best carby for a hot Mini.
