>> I agre e with Rick.  Webers are good for flat out racing, not stop and go on the street.  The 1275 in my Bugeye has had a single HIF 44 carb for several years now.  The engine runs great.  It's simple to tune and no going crazy trying to balance the carbs.  One thing about a single HIF carb, don't use the Mini intake manifold.  It's the wrong angle and will contact the bonnet.  APT sells the correct manifold for a Sprite/Midget.  Just my two cents.
