Has  anyone achieved a good result by using a pair of the single barrel Solex 
34mm  with electric chokes.  This dual carb set up is marketed to the VW  
crowd.  The Solexes are similar in size to the Rochester carbs.   



I adapted a pair of Dellorto 34mm singles to the Corvair 110. I actually  
helped my friend install it on his 110/PG. I believe the whole set-up went to  
Dave Binnie, up in the great white North. (Canada) He was planning on building a 
 blow-through turbo set-up with them. I used the hex cross shaft kit from  
the CB Performance dune-buggy folks. The 34mm is a bit larger than the  
Rochester. The rochester is about a 32mm as I recall 1.25" = (24.Xmm + 6.Xmm),  maybe 
slightly larger then 32. But they worked fine. They used solid floats  which 
is why the blow-through was attractive. I wouldn't attempt an adaptation  of 
carbs today without installing a wide-band O2 sensor (borrowed or bought). It  
should save you so much time in dialing it in. Dave may be able to comment on  
their final performance. - Seth Emerson
