Original bugeye's did have 1-1/8 su's. I have the original split manifold used to upgrade to 1-1/4 if anyone wants to buy it. The problem with determining size on SU carbs is the bore is not the same through the entire body (with the possible exception of HIF carbs). If you measure the air cleaner side it's generally smaller by 1/16 than the manifold side. I measure them like: Bigger than 1-1/4 smaller than 1-1/2 = 1-1/2 Bigger than 1-1/2 smaller than 2 = 1-3/4. Works every time. |
