Twin Zenith or Solex carbs

[Tom Coates]

I would have thought the advantage of twin carbs would be negated by using the standard cast iron exhaust manifold? I have seen a period photo of a GE Brooklands with two 30mm updraft Zeniths which seems like overkill. There are a lot of fast cars running on single updraft carbs in VSCC events, I think that understanding of Solex’s has improved in recent years with people like Robert now able to service them and provide the right bits.

I have written an article on these two companies which is due to appear in the spring and summer VSCC bulletins.
