Title: Solex carb

Can any one explain the benefits of angling the carb as per the regs and what is the best angle?  Thanks Daniel Ward

Angling the carb is to counteract fuel surge,there is no specific angle, it depends on how bad the fuel surge is.This can also be acheived by fitting spacers under an engine mount.

Thanks for the guidance.  Is fuel surge the reason why it is worth removing one float as per the regs?
