I have 2 WS carbs and I am thinking of putting one on my speedster. The one on the left was sold to me by Uncle Stan. I do not remember who sold me the one on the right. I have switched the air intakes, but they are basically the same. I found an article that states I should open the idle adjustment about 1 1/4 turns and the high speed 4-5 turns.

The carb on the right has on inlet that faces straight back. The carb on the left faces toward the frame. Is the left one adjustable and I can turn it to face straight back?

Since the inlet is down low compared to an NH, how have you run the fuel line and is there a way I can put a valve in the line that I can reach so I can turn off the fuel at the engine?

Thank you.

If the left one's inlet is a banjo fitting then it should be able to be turned wherever by design.Loosen the nut & turn. Why would the shutoff mounting be any different than for a NH? --

These were made as more or less direct replacements for the standard T carb but you may need to bend the fuel line. You can get a 1/8th inch pipe thread ball valve then use a 1/8" pipe to straight thread flare adapter or install the valve in the fuel line as a standalone shut off.

Thank you for telling me what a banjo fitting is. I looked it up and now I understand how it works.

With the inlet on the bottom the fuel line has to drop about 3 inches. I wasnt sure if there is room for the bends and a valve.
