First of all a list of most used carbs.

  • K37

From this list are DENI PZ28 or Chinese PZ28, Russian K301/302 and K68 the most used.
The Dellorto’s are less used mainly because of the price 🙂

Rubber manifolds for Dellorto are very expensive so I asked my mate Rob to make a adapter in order to use much cheaper “Ali” rubbers ! He tought it was a good idea, because he has some Dellorto’s too. I did the measurements and he translated that into a cad drawing and made a few pair on the CNC bank.

Chinese Keihin 30, I will try to get this one working on a M72
