Hi all,

Well, I was scrounging around some parts yesterday, and the guy says,
"Hey, you might be interested in this". He goes into a shed and comes
out with a carb and a manifold. I say, What's that for?" He says,"It
came off an Ambo I bought a few years ago. It worked really well. It was
very fast".

What it is, is a VW 36mm Solex carb mounted to a custom tube that spans
across and mounts to the Guzzi cylinders. It is a single carb set-up!
The air filter design is VERY Rube Goldberg, as it goes down behind the
unit and sets infront of the battery, but hey, it's neat!

Well, I just had to buy it!! I don't know if I'll use it, but I may
mount it onto a spare engine, just to freak people out!

If I can get a pic, I'll send it to anyone who wants to see it. I'll let
you know when I get it done.
