Hi all looking a sets of daily tein chock carbs. I know the weber and dell's have been around for ever mainly because they work but they are expensive but what about the younger carbs like empi and fajs ones. Basically are empi and fajs twin choke carbs any good

I've got some FJAS ones at the workshop, and a spare set too. They're fine if I'm honest, I mean they need taking apart, cleaning up and setting up, but they work alright.

What size mate and price?
Do you have the manifold or linkage as well?
Send me a pm👍

I've only got bare carbs, they're 40mm ones. I hadn't really thought about selling them as I like to keep spares in.

I had an empi carb once for about a year before it started playing up and then finally stopped working. Never again, junk.

WHS^^^

I fitted a pair to a T4 engine and body porosity resulted a jet of fuel right across the engine bay from the accelerator pump circuit...

I've had a set of dellortos, which were rebuilt when my engine was built in 2012, since then I have done absolutely nothing to them other than occasionally spraying them lightly in WD40 on the outside to prevent corrosion and have no issues, i've probably put 15,000 miles on them, sometimes the engine will sit for 6 months over winter and start straight back up in spring.
At around £350 to buy them used on ebay and another £150 to have them vaqua blasted and any parts needed from euro carb on rebuilding them they've proved to be a really solid investment...

Chris.
