Polini 28/30mm Carb Manifold

Hmmm... how does Polini make the manifold fit both the 28/30 mm carbs? Answer is that they compromise. Measuring the inlet of the manifold reveals an inside diameter of 28.4mm. In comparison the outlet of a Mikuni 30mm was measured at 29.8mm. So if you look down the barrel of a Mikuni 30mm connected to a 28/30mm Polini, you will see a lip all the way around. This is not desirable and some machining to match these up may be required.

Hi, i saw on a website that there is a little hollow on the side of the manifold... is there something (humpback) IN the manifold ?

Do you know the external diameter of the manifold ?

Thanks

The external diameter is 36mm. I dremelled out the internal diameter to 30mm fairly easily.

Yes, there is a bump on the inside of the manifold. Yes, that is undersirable but is needed to allow access to the bolt.
