That is a nice set up. I have a 26mm Wassell I am going to try on my Sebring.

On my 350 Bitsa I'm going with a Dellorto PHBH30 off of a Moto Guzzi. I got the manifold off of eBay, the carb just barely fits but it should work. Here it is just stuck in place with a filter and associated bits.

It more or less fits at this point so now I get to worry about porting the head to match and later figuring out the jetting/needle/slide for it...

The Wassell carb is no good, and I really don't know why. It would not deliver enough fuel(?). I bought a 26mm Keihin, bolted it on my 250 project, and so far I would say it works quite well. Easy start, idles, etc. I need to figure out an air cleaner set up. So far, I think it is a good value.

That looks like a neat compact installation.

Don't know about a manifold. Make one? TomA

I've got a VM26 on my 250 Monza, jetted as per Sudco recommendations. it's way too rich. I haven't yet tackled the problem of getting it right.
be nice, I'm not very bright.

Ok--- this is what I ended up with. 26mm Keihin. Bolts right on to the spacer by slightly enlarging the mounting holes. Jetted very close. 49mm K&N filter x 4" long. I think this is a great value for 120.00. Free shipping.
