Re I.O.M., all tarmac. Maybe your thinking of the Brickyard in the States?

Yup, just the carb. No air filter, no manifold. I use an S&S filter and housing with my Keihin. Good piece of kit..

<y original purpose was to see if they performed well enough to act as a diagnostic tool.
And they do. No doubt about it.
So with one of them and a compression gauge in half an hour you can be absolutely sure your engine problem is in the ignition system somewhere.
That's a bit over a hundred dollars worth of tools to help you eliminate 2/3rds of the problem areas on an engine that's not running right.
I think these flow somewhere around 175 CFM ? So, they'll work for engines up to 85 inches at least. Maybe more, I would have to check the numbers.
