When using a Dellorto VHST 24 mm carb on a SIL 200cc engine, would it make a big difference if I used a 30mm manifold, instead of a 25mm one?
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"

Stating the obvious thats a difference of 6mm which means a lip of 3mm all round.
this may not be ideal to have steps on the inlet tract of a tune/race engine but on a sil 200 I dont think it makes much difference.
Much worse to have a 30mm carb on a 25mm manifold :lol:
If you are worried about it try looking in a plumbers merchant to find a pipe/ conector to make into a stuffer to go into the manifold
