Larry,
You are correct. The European setup was the twin
system. The us spec spits had the single ZS since 75
if I recollect correctly. I just bought a 75 spit
engine for my midget and it has the ZS...of course I
DO have the dual setup ready and willing...:o))
The manifolds were a little different between the
spits and the Midgets but I think it was neglegible.
you will find that the stock air filter will not fit
under the bonnet though...you will end up going to an
aftermarket filter like K&N.
I would guess that it's difficult to stand and type
but mor difficult because he is also holding a dual
set of SUs at the same time! :o)))))
