Ok, anybody ever run into a set of these? was created by Mercury Kid
Here's what I know. They are clearly Solex Mikuni 2bbl side-draft carbs. They came from Branch, and are a complete setup for a Z1. Anyone ever run or work on a set? Hell anybody seen a set? I intend to run them on this chopper project I just got and would like an idea on how to tune them. They look great inside and after a cleaning should be ready to go.
THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE!

Ive only seen them in pictures but I think those are the carb set-up R.C. Eng. used on some of their bikes or ones like them. Carbs at that time were not conducive to suppling much fuel to race motors.

I hope they are more reliable than their car carburetors. All the Solex carbs I have dealt with were on cars and they all sucked.
