Yes, twin 30mm's. I ran a Super B with the superbowl for years but wanted to try this. The performance increase was fantastic. You ought to check out Chop Cult. We can always use more Shovel drivers over there.

Mikuni carb issue ?
Hi There ,
My 1980 Shovehead is fitted with a dual Mikuni carbs assembly.
I am not sure which carbs reference they are and I am attaching pics.
My bike suddenly stopped running as I was slowing down at a crossroads
and I can't start it again since.
Gas does arrive at the carbs but it seems it does not get to the cylinders.
I have dismantled the carbs assembly and everything inside is clean and OK.
I have also changed the sparkplugs, condenser, and reset the points gap but the bike still doesn' start.
I do have a spark at the sparklugs.
I could only get the engine running a few seconds by putting gas directly in the cylinders but it won't start if I spray "Start Pilote" (gas substitute)
into the carbs.
Any idea ?
Bernard
