Tom,

I have 40mm carbs on my project which can be seen in this picture:

I'm afraid the rest of the shots aren't that helpful because I have the
carbs bagged. They are rubber mounted. Not sure about the adjusting screws
(haven't had to tune them yet!) but I'll take a peek tonight. If I can get a
digital camera I'll snap some more pics if you want.

Chris

Bought a pair of 40 mm round slide Dellortos for my Eldo off Ebay and when
I
got them I discovered they are set up for a wrong angle v-twin (both sets
of
adjusting screws are on the same side). Is this a something a machine shop
can do, or do I need to find a specialist in carb work? Seems to me it
should be fairly straight forward, but not sure. Reason for the big carbs
is
88mm sleeves and pistons and bigger valve heads. My goal is a nice looking
bike like Freds and lots of power.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. TIA
Tom
