    Default Quick T40 choke question

    Can anyone tell me what chokes i should be running in my 40s? The engine is as follows:

    14nv block
    1300 head
    285 cam
    40DHLA carbs
    ashley 4 branch and magnex system

    Someone has told me i need 34mm chokes but that just seems stupid, i mean i'm sure it was benji who told me on an engine like mine you should run a max of 32mm IF you have a big valve head. Does that sound about right?

    By the way it has 28mm in atm

    I'd say 30mm chokes would do for that spec

    , i dont have 34s in mine, someone told me i should have but i swiftly told them differently! I believe mine are 28mm so i guess they should be ok unless i went for bigger valves?
