I want some Back to top Chewie Dropped Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 112 Location: Eggenfelden, Germany Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:38 pm    Post subject: i bought the carbs there http://www.dellorto.co.uk/merchandise/products_details.asp?PartNo=PHBH28-2CV&CategoryID=1&PartsectionID=10 not really cheap ... but the seller is very friendly and helps a lot, if there any problems or questions. At first, i decided to fit my old Bing carbs on it, but the diameter was to big. Than i wantet to put on 2 carbs like "Motomotie" did, but I had no idea of fasting the exhaust and heating system ... At least, I decided to fast the Dellortos. I´m looking forward, whow they run By the way ... the body of "La Belle" is painted with "Owatrol-Oil". It is normally used for grave-crosses or old iron garden doors. http://www.owatrol-shop.de/product_info.php?info=p3335_owatrol-oel.html&XTCsid=fc4399b2fb31d630a6dfe24bfbaf3d42 Back to top jan Snailer Joined: 09 Jan 2009 Posts: 22 Location: Germany Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2009 1:14 am    Post subject: carbs Hi, you can also buy them at scooter shops, because they are often used for tuning of old scoters.
