Hi all,
I've recently fitted twin carbs and extractors to my grey motor.
And I'm not happy with the W clip and rod set up between the 2 carbs.
I'm keen to see what other guys are using on their grey motors.

The 2 W clips and rod is a pretty standard set up for carbies in line that way. You have to be able to accommodate a little bit of misalignment between the carbies.

Ive got them on my twins was a bit sceptical at first but have given me no trouble
regards fatboy
ps i run a cable not mechanical linkages

Thanks for the input guys.
With my set up, I found that after I use the choke, (which is on the front carby)
 my front carby alignment has moved.
I have tightened the W clips heaps but you can still move one of them on the shaft?

I have a mechanical link for accelerator  on the rear carby.

hey

i was looking at a few of the carby set up's at the easter show of 2 of the grey motors and they were both different to eachother and different to mine. Not sure what a W clip is, but i have a bar which runs along, the bottom of the manifold which has 2 shorter bars which come off this bar and go to arms linking to one carby each and another bar which has a control arm on it which goes to a mechanical accel set up. i find this works really well and that the choke does not effect it. the only trouble i had was that the carvies were not fulli opening. but i fixed that soon enough. 

thanks mate..

sweet thats what I'm interested in. do you have any pics ezzacoombs 8)

robbo,

i just took the carbies and manifold off and sent them to extreme to get rebuilt and polished and shined and i will be getting them back next friday. the manifold which i have had 3 loops i guess you could call them, and this "pole" (great at using terminoligy i am) goes through these loops on the outside bottom edge of the manifold. ill see if i can find this setup on the internet somewhere and send it to you. damn i should have taken a few picks before i took it down to the carby place. 
but If you ever need to get any carbies looking fantasticly shinny and rebuild this guy does a great job, he can take it back to the brass looking finish or he can make it look like polished alloy. i saw a few which he has done. look amazing, i also took the manifold in to him and he will clean that up too. Great bloke "Extreme fuel systems" look on google.

thanks mate
