New member here. What is a HIF 44 carb? And where is the best place to get one?

It's a 1.75" (44mm) throat version of the Horizontal Integral Float SU(Skinners Union) carburetor! Ebay is your friend. What engine do you want it for ???

Here you go this is what one looks like

I exchanged my 1098 for a 1275 a few years ago.

But don't pay that price! They are not 'hard to find' as that seller would have you believe! If your 1275 engine is standard - and you don't plan to 'race' it - it will run fine on a 1.5" carb - HS4 or HIF38.

I only posted it so that the poster could see what one looked like as per the request.

Absolutely - but that one has ended up at a price far beyond what I would pay - but then - I'm a Scotsman! Last one I bought cost me £5 at an autojumble...... The older HS6 carb is the same size - and every bit as good performance wise - and twin sets of these often sell very cheaply on ebay.

I dont believe that for a moment being a scotsman has nothing to do with tightfistedness that's just a rumour spread by the sassenachs so I have to possibly assume you are one

Thanks to all. Love the site!
