Evening all,
I am slowly restoring my Volksrod, it has a fuel injected Type 3 engine, I've ditched the fuel injection in favour of carbs. I don't want to buy a new kit purely because of the cost, does ant one know of a second hand set of carbs and manifold or know if I can utilise the bits from another twin port motor, it wouldn't bother me if it had a single carb, if that would work.
Cheers Rob

You can get an original twin solex kit off a 1600 type 3  or any after market carbs but the injection system is simple just having a single power wire to the control box as long as you have the fuel pump for it. Plenty of info on line about the system..
