r/h manifold for muggy

[lee b]

does anybody know if anyone does a manifold for the 225 muggy that has the carb coming out on the r/h side instead of the left??

I wouldn't have thought so, with a Muggy inlet on the left the manifold would have to cross the frame tube some how making it rather long and creating clearance issues. Why do you ask? One advantage of the Mugello kits is a modern performance top end and keeping the original look.

the long range tank i have has the cut out on the r/h side,so the carb being on the left is a pain because the petrol tap wont join up with the lever.have tried bending it,adding extra joints,but it wont work.the only way i could do it is with the l.t.h manifold with reeds,and i dont really wanna go down that route.

thanks for the reply though.

seems a bit of an extreme route to overcome an issue...
you tried UJs from model boats to join the fuel tap rod to the tap ?
the muggy cylinder is designed to work with the carb on the left, so the charge would be having to turn a turbulent corner if it was coming from the other way...

it will be a pain with any type of joints i think,the rod wont clear the carb (28mm delly pbhb).
maybe a slightly longer rubber mount would cure it??? but then gonna have clearance issues with the panel.

Why dont you get the petrol tap boss moved and rewelded on the tank?
