Help me ID my 1275

[TulsaFred]

Thanks for the info gentlemen. Doesn't sound like any differences amongst the various spridget 1275's that would matter much to a street cruiser like mine.

Mike, as far as posting pics:
1. Go to www.tinypic.com
2. select "choose file", then browse your hard drive to the pic and select
3. select file type "image"
4. on the resize drop down menu pick "message board (640x480)"
5. skip the share checkbox
6. click "upload now"
7. enter the security code phrase and click "upload now" again
8. after a few seconds a new screen will appear with 4 choices, COPY the url (the entire string) in the box "IMG code for Forums and Message boards"
9. go back to the BCF and paste this URL string into you message and post!

I was perusing the Moss Motors website for a carb kit and noticed the new SU carbs for sale. Multiple HS2 variations were available with different numbers.

SO I went and looked at my original carbs off of this engine, and they are AUD502R code.

That translates to a very specific "early 1972" only carb.

It would, therefore, appear that this 1275 is an early 1972.

Holy toledo, the carb rebuild kits are $130!

For those of you who have never seen a thin flange block, discussed earlier in this thread, here it is. The casting number <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">is</span></span> different.
