Morris Minor Owners Club

I shall try and get a photograph, the chap who knocked together the drawings for some house mods we are having done arrived last week on a Royal Enfield.
This week he brought out his Yamaha V twin 750.
Nothing unusual there you might say and quite right, but he mentioned the Yamaha carbs were rap with a pronounced letter c.
Hated working on them so much he replaced them, as he pulled away I got a view of a home brew inlet manifold with an S.U. carb fitted and a minor air filter to boot.
Well I'll be.

Excellent! And yet the wee neds are all running about putting 'bike carbs' on their Minis........

Yamaha carbs are fantastic bits of kit, well engineered of quality metal. Very similar to SUs really, or better yet Strombergs, needle in jet and a spring on the top.

You can't beat an SU for reliability and simplicity.
