Highly uneconomical, a pain to tune, too expensive and only suitable for engines 2110 cc above. If used on smaller engines, you're just choking your engine to death. If U happen to read of weber 52mm, these are not carbs, but rather throttle bodies to be used in conjunction with a fuel injection system. Best all rounder carbs, easy maintenance and reasonably priced - Weber 40mm Best rare carbs - Dellorto 36mm/40mm - Ah Teck has some...hahahhaha If U use the car on a daily basis, your best bet would be to source out 34PICT5/6 (T5 or T6, for those in the know).
