It also explains why the banjo is about the fuel level height, So it aligns with the main jet in the suggested orientation. I recon there is a mounting adapter with a 90 degree offset in the box as well, which would have been used with it. I showed it to a neighbour out the back who used to race AJS in the fifties and he'd never seen anything like it. Thanks for that response. It's no good to me as I'm purely Dellorto on my bikes, so it's off to Ebay for this one. Cheers all Rob

He goes to a lot of swap meets so would hazard a guess that he has seen something like that before
