Hi,

I am starting into looking improving the performance on the 186S in the HR with new head, cam, manifold/carb set-up. Obviously the Weber triple carb set-up is the old school' popular choice.

Reading into this further I came across the site below who uses the modern day carbs from Mikuni on early 6cyl Volvo's, Triumphs, etc in the US and UK. They advertise them as technologically superior in design to the typical SU, Zenith Stromberg or Weber carbs. It's a flat slide carb designed specifically as a bolt-on SU replacement and easy to tune compared to the 'standard' carb designs. They are used predominantely in modern jet-ski and motorcycle (Harley & Yamaha) applications.

Has anyone heard of these locally or used them on a Australian 6? Damn cheaper than any triple carb set-up I've seen advertised also.
