[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 20150, member: 433"] on a Comet, I would go for a Mikuni VM 30 or if you have MkII cams fitted and slightly tuned the engine, you could also go for a VM 32. If I am not mistaken, Allensperformance ( [url]www.allensperformance.co.uk[/url]) sell complete kits for Vincents. They are a bit more expensive than the standard carbs in Germany, but they are already jetted, got the correct slide and the guys are very helpful. They would not tell me the jetting etc, but gave the information to the German distributer within hours, so I could order the carb in Germany. You could also go for a Dellorto carb with or without accelerator pump, but what put me off is that the German distributor could not help me at all with the jetting or answer any questions really. There are about 70 needles to choose from and so many different jets, mixing throats etc that I gave up on that idea. The Mikuni is sooo much simpler P.S. I have no connection with the company or any financial benefits HTH Bernd [/QUOTE]
