Guys, first I want to thank you for all the research and testing you've done to make it easier for those of us who don't have the knowledge or abilities that you do.
Now that I have my '76 on the road (with C5 ignition!), I would really like to get rid of those four damned carbs.
I've already spent too much money on them, money I can't afford to spend. Just saving for the C5 set me back a year on this bike.
But I have a few questions.....
I've tried to read all the threads here on the topic, but the info is kinda scattered, and many of the posts are over two years old.
1. Joe, I know that you seem to prefer the Weber, but Dan, if I read it right, you finally settled on the Solex carb because it's the easiest to set up? I do NOT have the knowledge or money to experiment like you guys have done. I want to do it once, then enjoy riding it.
2. Can you give me a link to buy this carb?
3. Will this work as well with my 1000 as it does with your 1200? (20% less displacement?)
4. If I do it your way, will the tool tray still fit above the air cleaner?
That will do for now. I'm sure I'll have a LOT more questions once I start down this road.
Thanks again guys. I'm really looking forward to having this bike run the way it should!
