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 |

I think the 356 Solex carbs used a metal balance tube, the newer Kadron/Solex kits use a standard rubber vacuum hose. I don't know the official explanation, but for me the balance tube (hose) was a kind of cheat to balance the vacuum signals between the carbs so the engine would still run smoothly when the carbs were slightly out of sync. The racing Kadron guys don't use them, but they're constantly adjusting and syncing carburetors. For a street car it makes a mechanic's life easier if the car doesn't suddenly run like crap because the carbs have gotten slightly out. My best guess. I always used it, never saw a reason not to.
