Hi,
    I would like to control the 2 Carbs from a single bowden cable to a linkage system above or adjacent.

Has anyone done this or have plans for such a system?

Thanks...

Hi Chaz,
            Thanks, I have this on the chokes and separate cables on the throttles.

I am thinking more on a solid linkage solution.

Thanks...

Only one that springs to mind is for the triples - which would require modification to convert to 2 carbs, plus of course I think the triple intake stubs are not splayed. Might give some idea of bracketry or whatever.

Hi Wardy,
              Seems like we are on the same wavelength, the set up you are referring made me think someone must have have made something for the Lightning  :)

Thanks...

with a bit of engineering you could make up a linkage with solid rods , may pay to look at modern multi carb systems, Ive got twins and 4's at the unit . you would need a cam system for the cablle to run in and operate both carbs at the same time.

Hi Chaz,
             That's what I'm after, I was hoping someone had already done the hard work and plans were available  :).

Best wishes...
