701 questions?

[lhpsj]

Could you have a single carb setup on a 701, or does it have to be twin carb. Also if it can be either is it easy to switch from single to twin?

There are two 701 engine models. There is a 701 engine with 61x cases and 61x cylinders which came originally with a single carb. There is also a 701 engine with 62T cases and a 61x cylinder which comes originally with dual carbs.

For the 62T engine there are conversion manifolds made by blowsion, Riva, and some others. There is also a UK based company named Air Time Products that makes a true 62T 701 conversion manifold.

you can run either, if you do WTO runs you might consider duals, if you just want bottom a single is of. I prefer duals myself.

There are conversion manifolds for you engine to run dual carbs. I know R & D makes one. Check out atlanticjetsports.com I think they have one.

or you could buy a set of 62t cases.
