Re: Putting dual carbs on a CT1600

Hello John

Trying to fit the Solexes I found that I was having clearance issues  by the time I put the air cleaner on. So I was hoping to see what others have done to give me ideas on what I can do.

I have a CT with 1679cc displacement and a pair of Dellorto 34 FRD carbs on type 3 dual-port manifolds. I am wondering what was used for linkages and possibly pictures of set ups?

Anyone used a GlowShift adapter on a CT engine

Wondering if anyone has used a GlowShift adapter plate on a CT engine and if so how well did it work. I am thinking about it because I could put a oil temp bulb in the plate not have to modify the engine cases in any way. Or do you folks have other ideas for monitoring oil temp?

Thanks
Bill

Re: Does a CT engine use Type 1 main bearings?

Well I don’t have to split the cases. The reason that I thought I would have to split the cases was I had a tappit that went bad and I could not get it out using a strong magnet. What I ended up doing was using a drywall screw and screwing it in to the oil transfer hole in the top of the lifter. The...

Does a CT engine use Type 1 main bearings?

I have a 1980 T25 with a CT 1600 engine and I have to split the engine cases so I thought that I should replace the main  and cam bearings but I am in Canada and none of the part suppliers have any knowledge of this engine. So before split the cases I want to make sure I can get parts. So does the C...
