i ran one for a year and never did an axle. Had many good times in it too... Could swing a nut like nothing else.

Hey fella's I've Just recieved my tax back and i am trying to prepare the car for a Dyno tune & trying to make things easier for the Tuner and in the long run me.

I've got some twins and i have a linkage setup witch drives me insane. in the pictures a couple of posts above you can see it's a simple sort of setup which seems to operate on one side of the carb which pulls on the bar and then opens the other side up. Now when a few mates have had a look at it and tried to give it a bit of a tune up it seems to be opening up but one carb opens before the other and therfore not giving me a even tune.

Is there a linkage setup that anyone can recommend to me that will be strong and give me a even response? so when i give it some the linkage pulls down to open the twins up at the same time and not give me a slight delay? I know it's hard to tune twins but i know the linkage setup is SH!T.

As long as it gives me some good response ill be happy, because i have to beat Ben's (BLOWNMK12L) Yellow RS. He seems to think he's got me [:x)] I've got some cards up my sleave Ben lol

i just had a look at ur engine bay pic, i see what u mean about a weird linkage/throttle setup.

see if you can gather parts to make your own / find a complete linkage like mine:



from what i can tell without having them on the car, the throttle opens from the center, opening both carbies together.

to be honest i thought this was really the only setup around, never seen one like urs.

hi 3scort,

I got a complete linkage setup from redline (from memory) that looks similar to the previous post designed for webbers. with this setup my twins have been runnning for over a year without the need for a re-tune.

Sterling, i haven't seen one like mine before either. That arm that comes down int the centre would do a even job on pushing down but where it's located does that affect a sway bar position? How much was the one from redline Michael? And is it using a Hex Bar or round Bar? from my experience the round bar is junk because it eventually slips when you accelerate therefore losing throttle.
