Re Gardner sizes. I know that the 500 Manx has 1½". Best answer on sizes is to ask Dick Linton.

Ron does carbs up to 44mm, 40 and 42 are common sizes to him, I think the 44 is only available in 'tube connect' form, but I am not 100% as none of mine are bolt on.Does anyone know what is the largest one made in the Gardner range, I need something at least 1 1/2" or 38 mm up to 40 mm would be ok.
The reason the fuel is metered is specifically so high downdraft angles can be used, unlike with air metering.What I have learnt:
The GP2 has the float level at the bottom of the O on the carb plug it also departs from the TT and earlier GP in the pilot adjustment by metering the air and not the fuel so it is in line with road carbs ie: in for rich.
Thanks for the offer Neil we will see how it all fits together and runs on the dyno
I hopefully await any other slide size recommendations....
(which is where I came in before the flow (pun) altered)
Phil as I have MK2. GP and a steep down draft I would be most interested in the 'fix' for the front carbThe reason the fuel is metered is specifically so high downdraft angles can be used, unlike with air metering.
What I can tell you is that there is a known 'low air flow' fuel pick up problem on GP's - precisely because of the fuel delivery method and route (and there is a fix!).
I read somewhere that Gardner would make his carburetors any size. Someone asked for a 2 1/4" carb to fit to a Harley, so he made itDoes anyone know what is the largest one made in the Gardner range, I need something at least 1 1/2" or 38 mm up to 40 mm would be ok.
