I have a pile of English carbs off of MG type cars and am thinking that they would be OK for the 1/2 VW engine.
Ken Rand (KR1 & KR2) originally used an HS-4 ( 1 1/2" throat) carb on his first KR1 and it did fine.
The HS-2 (1 1/4" throat) is good for 20 to 55 HP according to the tuners of the day (David Vizard).
I know that these carbs do not like to be "blown on" and that is why the real Mini had them behind the engine so these would need to be protected from direct wind but that should be the only issue.
Any thoughts?
