Paso Dell Orto conversion

[spaz2]

Just wondering, fore those who are running Dells, what size are you using? Would a 32mm work on my 750 Paso?

36 fit good on stock 750 and 40 are ok for tuned 750 & 906.
you can make a search for this

yeah i've read about people using 36 and 40 but i found a pair of 32s pretty cheap and was wondering if those would work

Probably too small for a 750....

[spaz2]

Yeah, I was thinking that they probably would be too small, thanks

Have 36mm Dellorto PHF's on mine; runs great. You'll need nice high quality air filters like K&N's too. I have oval body filters that fit very nicel

Actually, the 32's should work just fine. You will loose a bit of top end from running 36 mm carbs, but it should run pretty good. The older 750s and I think the 860 had 32mm carbs. 850 Moto Guzzi ran 32, and I think the Norton did also. Some stock 750 twins ran a 28, like 70s Triumphs. If they are cheap and clean, it could do you well until you find some cheap 36's (not too likely though)

Cheers,

I agree, 32's should run just fine. I can't even remember the last time I ran over 100mph
actually I do remember just don't want to talk about it,was very expensive

The Paso runs bigger valves (cams too) and flow much better than the early pantahs so the 32's will really choke it and run it lean. I would look for a set of Monster Mikuni's.
