Twin Carburettors
Twin carburettors use two carburettors to feed an engine, improving breathing and power on many classic and sports cars.
What is Twin Carburettors?
They must be balanced to share air flow equally. The mixture is set on each carburettor. Linkages connect the throttles. A flow meter or synchronising tool makes balancing much easier.
How it works
Each carburettor feeds part of the cylinders, giving shorter and more even intake paths.
Why it matters for your car
Unbalanced carburettors cause rough idle and poor running. Worn throttle spindles let air in and upset the mixture.
