| What are the advantages of running bike carbs rather than webbers? I know nothing about carbs! Some advice please Thanks Kelvin | |

| Not hard at all to set up, just make sure you dont get anything off a us spec bike as they have plates in that wont allow you to fiddle with them. | |

| Advantage = Their awesomeness!
Seriously though, advantages are that they are cheaper and you can easily set them up yourself. Just make sure you get an appropriate set for your engine.
Have a search on Club GTI, that's where I got all my info.... | |

Dont forget the carbs would be sat over the hot exhaust manifold mate. | |

| A well wrapped exhaust with a custom made heat shield will be the safest option for those too  I know with weber's/dellortos they have a tendency to spit fuel back out of them...this can lead to an engine fire if you have no wrap/shield. Mine popped like a barsteward on the Jetta! | |

| and you get a lot of stand off vapour with bike carbs if you dont use the airbox so wouldnt fancy them sitting over the manifold | |
