Ha! I clicked to congratulate you and maybe see a photo. Been a fan of the three wheel Morgan for years. Anyhow, um, enjoy the carbtune

Think these have been posted lots before but here’s mine just for you



Possibly more interesting is why I bought it



Lucky save really, the bit fell out when I removed slide, could have been eaten !

But, of course, synchronising wasn’t out by much, can’t be, just by changing slides, only idle needed any adjustment to speak of, where old have little notches worn from stop screws.
Always find it amusing when people say Dellortos go out of synch, no earthly reason how they can differ from any other cable operated carbs (or TB’s). Only the cable can wear AFAIK.
But the Morgan is a doddle to use, recommended

The Guzzi alternative to a Morgan!! (comes in many kit varieties - TriKing, Blackjack, Pemberton, etc.), :wink: :thumb: :cool:

Jack Lewis' story about taking a ride in one made them sound like a blast.  This is about the Ace Cycle-Car that was built in Washington at the time.
