Hiya

Got a set of carbs coming from Brasil via my wife's Mother, she showed me them via webcam and they are a pair of 40 solex Kadrons with an enriched fuel pump units in the sides of them.
My question can you run this as dual carbs or they are meant to work in a single application?
Thanks in advance for your help on this.
if you are in the area, pop in for a cuppa.Thats if i am in and out playing Taxi for the Kids

they will work as a pair just depends on venturi and jet sizes they come with.

Most Solex/Kadrons don't have chokes but later ones do so they will need wiring.

They're usually fitted as twins but can be used as singles with an apropriate manifold...
