I know many prefer them over dual carb setups.

only those that have *never* had a dual carb setup, or run offroad...a centermount carb is hard to tune properly and typically needs a good supply of preheat to the manifold to keep carb icing down...they tend to run rough, rich, and have bad gas mileage *untill* properly jetted and tuned... J
Howdy.
We have both dual Dells and single Progressive.... I prefer the single Progressive.

like i said, if they are properly tuned they are great...but getting them there can be a bit much for some...they will "run" as they come, but that doesn't make them "great"... J
Good point Joey....
Putting both cars next to each other.... I'm not conivnced the extra cash and tuning is worth the slight performance difference.
I don't want to start the which type of performance is better... if I were spending the cash again... I'd stick to a single Webber.... and keep the rest of the cash in the bank or put it into electronic ignition etc.

i have run centermount dellorto's....i liked them performance wise, yet I can't say i think they are the best...i did have a bit of carb icing trouble though...this was on a high rev-ing 1835 with 45 dell...it took some time to get it properly jetted, but when it was right it was a performer...cool weather didn't agree with it...i had to fabricate a "hotbox" to keep the carb happy in the winter...

Includes the pre-heat manifold. Damn nice carb! Tuning is a bit hard as the low speed mixture and low speed jet are facing and up against the doghouse. I highly recommend the carter rotary-vane 3.5 psi electric fuel pump to go with it.
