I can adjust the time the centre one comes into play.. but.. I am a little suspect about the height still though

That's the opposite to the standard SP setup where only the centre carb is fully used most of the time and the 2 outers only come in when there is sufficient vacuum to open them.
If this was installed though in a car you would want to ensure that the middle pair do have a constant flow of fuel through them otherwise they might gum up. Even though the outers on the SP aren't in use most of the time there is still an amount of fuel flowing through them (as far as I know).

That's a good point Chris, a size 9 right boot filled with lead springs to mind

well, yes ...

Hi, Grant. Thanks for those pics. Looks excellent. can I ask will the bonnet close OK when webers fitted? All this could be academic if the bush fires sweep through. I shall stay with the SP until the end. Do you make much noise when you sneak them out during the night perhaps waking the missus? I suppose it's better than brown bowler hats and raincoats under there.(see updated and revised Karma Sutra. Page 43. Available any good book seller). Is this off topic? Kenny38

OK totally off topic now:

That was and is such a beautiful set-up Joerg..But.. very expensive I know.. stunningly magnificent.. But you know that anyway!!

The result of too much thinking during the six year restoration - I would never do anything like this again. Kind of hot rod and it drives like an old race car ( which is great fun even on long distance - as long as my better half isn’t on the passenger seat ). Now with a well tuned SP in my stable I know it could be done in a civilised way

could not read the article from the photo or find it online.

I Love Webber’s the true 6 Pack is then 6 of them on a 265 long nose GTC Ferrari.

I find it very sad that Climate Hysteria has infected our political class, but then they are technically illiterate.
Aiming for Zero Carbon by 2050 and declaring there is a 'Climate Emergency' as Theresa May did, is the pinnacle of idiocy.
Man-made Climate-Change is the greatest fraud in the world.

Indonesia is ranked 117th worldwide in vehicles per capita- 87 vehicles per 1000 people. We in Switzerland (and in the UK also) have almost 10 times that...

Then you can also compare the average income in Indonesia to that in other countries- the price of gasoline is relative to the average income much higher than here in Switzerland for example.

I believe it is a scam of the highest order too Adrian
Are they going to ground all aeroplanes too thenmaybe they will electric? No need to reply to my comment actually as I don't really like getting involved in all this caper.. I love the petrol combustion engine too much.. and also I believe making and charging electric vehicles causes just as many problems anyway..& with that..I'm out>>>

It was my understanding that Adrian was arguing that the price of gasoline should be approx £4.20/l in the UK, just like in Indonesia (relative to the income). Correct me though if I'm wrong...
