H1 or H2 carbs

[athenssprite]

Will either carb set-up work on a 1275 engine?

 

[jlaird]

Yes either will work but H1s are too small.

 

[athenssprite]

Just curious, what happens if you use H-1's ?

 

[jlaird]

You get not as much power or RPM. Think, you are passing less air and fuel into a larger cylinder.

Overly lean mixture could lead to piston meltdown, too. Why would you even <u>want</u> to run H1's on a 1275?? Some of mine run HS4's.

I have some H-1's that are in great shape and some H-2's that are not. I was trying to use what I had without making additional purchases (silly me!)

I ran an 1100 for years with H1 carbs. They worked fine just the engine wasn't as powerful as it could have been.

Since you guys like pictures, Here it is.
