SOLD! Original Puma twin carb' set...

Post by Merlin »

Here's something you don't see every day: an original Puma twin carb' set...

What's here:
  • Matched set of original Solex 40mm carbs
  • Original linkage
  • Original filters*
  • Original Puma intake manifolds
Notes:
  • * One of the filter tops has been modified to take a breather pipe.
  • The linkage rod seems to have been extended somewhat messily with a barrel nut.
PMB-ish area.

Nice! On original Puma carb setups the pivot point was mounted to a bracket brazed to the fan housing

Thanks Pine.

In that case, I don't think anything is missing from it. :D
