Manifolds fitted.jpg [ 52.86 KiB | Viewed 5502 times ]
Help / Advice please.
I've brought my first Ducati after a very long wait, I'm trying to get a Ducati 750 sport 1990 running after standing unused for many years. The plan is to get it running to determine how much work it needs (it needs a lot of T.L.C.) It has been fitted with a pair of new separate Mikuni VM carbs which might be the reason it was put into storage ! One possibly both are leaking fuel into the engine, I've tried the obvious but I'm concerned by the carb mounting angle. Space is tight between the barrels for the carbs and I'm not sure about the manifolds that they are mounted on as they are quiet different in size and their angle doesn't seem right. The rear manifold is 36mm at the inlet and 44mm at the head, the front manifold is 41 inlet and 45 at the head. Both the manifolds are second hand.
Before I spend too much time trying to make what I've got work can anyone please advise if it will !
I would sooner start again with different carbs (Linked Mikuni's from an SS) if this system is going to be difficult to sort.
