I am actively look to get back into a 951 so check out pretty much every ad.

Stumbled across this gem.

Are those Mikuni? I've seen similar on a vintage racing MGB.

Those look like motorcycle carbs. They could be Mikuni - but it is hard to tell from those photos. What would your interest be in them? They certainly would not be good on a turbo engine.

Attached are images of the Mikuni (automotive) set-up I have on my Colts (Sammy in this case).

That thing has been on sale forever...
That's a crack-pipe price.
I believe the current seller bought it from the previous owner for about $1000, the last time it was for sale...

I check craigslist alot.

That car is not worth $1000 the way it sits. I didn't even look closely the first time through. 6 cylinder engine? Really? Where are the other two cylinders?

Just register and have it smogged? That's really funny. With those carbs, if it even runs, would not likely pass emissions testing.

WTF is up with those tires? The wheels are way too big for the car and the tires are way too small for those wheels.

$5000? Sure.

That must be a typo, surely he meant $500.

I have zero interest.

Just thought it a unique means of fueling.

It might be if it works - which I have serious doubts. There may be a pressure regulator hiding somewhere in there. Or maybe a low pressure pump. If not, those carbs would "explode" from 50 psi of fuel.

Aren't most motorcycle carbs fed their fuel by gravity?

Unique is one word for that thing.

I considered modifying an intake manifold and installing a pair of 50mm Webers omit if I couldn't get the FI setup to run. Doubt that I'll do it now,since megasquirt has shown up on the horizon.

Don't think they are Side-Draft carbs anyway...they look similar to Mikuni BS33's, possibly 40mm's off a R1.

Regardless...I'm SMDH.

"I think it would be easy to finish with a new paint job."

Um, wow.

Could also be Keihns. Both are constant velocity with the slide vacuum controlled. They are a great design, no engine bogging and capable of delivering fuel injection like response and MPG. Looks like the just removed the whole setup from the motorcycle. The carbs appear to be on their factory mount to keep the linkage simple and hooked up to the runners as needed without thought to equal length. They are way too small to meet that engine's needs as the biggest 4 they could have come from is 1400cc. Now Mikunis meant for big inch stroker Harleys would do the job.

That thing would never pass smog in California with all the emissions re-routed or eliminated...it's hard enough to get a well tuned one to pass anymore. For a track car who cares but it just ain't worth it.

I don't know much about Mikuni's or Keihns, but they are definitely not Webers. They might be Delortos though. You would need 2 Weber DCOEs 50 mm to feed the 2.5 and get the proper feeding. For a non-smog street machine, probably need longer intake runners to get the pressure waves right. With the proper jetting, the '50s would probably be good....IF you wanted to go that way...
