Flemming Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 hiI have an early Vitesse 6 with Solex B32 1H carb(without acc. pump) setup.What would be the pros and cons using these carbs compared to the later Stromberg CD150?Beside a better Stromber performance and a simpler Stromberg setup.regards Flemming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy thompson Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Pros... originalityCons... everything else. Why do you think Triumph ditched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Unless you're after originality, fitting a Stromberg is all good and no negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Excusing my ignorance, is'nt it basicly a 2Litre MkI setup with different needles. (waiting to be shot down in flames by all the 1600 experts) :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemming Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 hiIt might be 2Litre MkI setup.I am actually looking to localise the necessary changes to make to convert a Vitesse 6 from Solex to Stromberg carb setup. Including cooling system. I'd prefer to do the modification leaving the radiator as it is.Flemming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Bowling Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 My 1600 has the same set up as above - note the little extension pieces between carbs and manifold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Flemming, my Vitesse 6 has been converted to a late 2L with HS6 carbs and a 2500S manifold, but I am still using the original header tank and radiator. They fit in no problem, although the header tank mounts had to be modified to fit properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
