Alot of speedway guys and boat racers used Amal motorbike carbs back in the day. If you search the net for Repco Crossflow heads you'll often see photos with 6 of these bolted to the side. They have a "straight through" throat so they tended to flow better for wide open throttle situations. Also most of the internals (like the round slide) were brass, which made them less prone to corrosion from methanol. I think these ones might be priced a bit high.. because there are still plenty of these carbs around. Although, the hardest part is finding ones from the same year/era.. |
