  1. Hi guys,

    I know I'm opening up another one of those 'which oil' threads...but

    I have a 2.0l 1978 engine, if I was to remove my FI system, what carbs would you recommend and what else will I need to buy / change?

    Myself and Birdy have a set of the Solex 34mm Carbs from Coolair (I have yet to fit them)

    I have heard good stories about these from various people, hence buying a pair for when the FI on Major goes belly up. Dont forget we get a Coolair discount too!
     
  4. So will they work with the existing stock dizzy etc. I assume I'd need to change the fuel pump to a low pressure one from the standard FI one?

    If anyone has fitted them, how were they to fit, how long did it take?

  6. Go for a set of DRLA twin 40 delleorto's, electric fuel pump and regulator.

    Makes shed loads of differance. 8)
