Just read a thread comparing the virtues of different carb setups and came across a link for a company selling duel single Kadron carb kits for the type 4 engines.
http://www.shop.kaddieshack.com/BRAND-NEW-...20L-43-4520.htm I'd never really heard anyone on this board talk much about the duel single-choke carbs as a viable option. It sounds like a nice compromise between the efficiency of a stock D-jet and power of duel twin-choke Webers or Dells. Has anyone used this setup for a 2.0 engine before and if so what cam did you use? Thanks, John |

Actually, Porsche did fit the 914 with dual Solexes at one time ( I think it was the ROW 1.8), so they can certainly work.
The carb position over the ports would alleviate the problems caused by the center mounted carb, and they should be able to be balanced easily. Though the power may not be comparable to that found by the dual setups, they should be OK. Unless you've changed the camshaft, I don't know how much switching to carbs really helps (unless the original, good working, fuel injection system is kaput and can't be repaired). |
