Flemming Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 hiI am going to install Stromberg carbs on my Vitesse 6 currently fitted with SOLEX carbs. I have bought a set of adapters to do so.In the hope that I can avoid the purchase and installation of another manifold.I now realize that the adapters might be at a wrong angle.Anyway, when fitted the Stromberg will not rest in vertical position. But be angled some 15dgr. Will that be a problem?regards Flemming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Bowling Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hi FlemmingAs you may remember my strombergs are on the adaptors and are angled - I will try and get the angle from the vertical for you tomorrow.CheersBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hammond Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Flemming, this is usual for this rather nice period adaptation, they always were angled on these adapters.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimboyfat Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Why don't you just fit a 2lt MKI inlet manifold? Common as muck, cheap as chips, and no hassle whatsoever.Why make things complicated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemming Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Got your point Slimboyfat. I have to do it on the road though so to speak and figure it will be a tool and time wise faster maneuvre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realy thought it would decrease carb performance.Flemming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Bowling Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hi FlemmingMy carbs are angled at about 20 degrees from the vertical on the adaptor stubs. Can't say that I have notice any detrimental effect from this.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
