Does anyone know if Ducati made any changes to the carbs fitted to the 600ss over the years. They'll listed as having the same models fitted, was more interested in internal modifications/changes. Does anyone have a spare set and are going to CC this weekend that i could borrow, just to try something out.

Andy I have a set I can take, I think they are complete but one may have a cracked plastic top, the bit over the diaphragm

Andy, has the man sorted your bike out?

[Andy C]

Thanks Kevin, if you would'nt mind taking them with you. The bike (and i have'nt seen it yet) runs on both over two thousand revs, but not under. Have been told that this is due to the carbs. It's off to BSD tomorrow for dyno work and hopefully it'll be sorted. I'll know more this time tomorrow. Everything has now been checked loads of times, and am told that it's got to be the carb feeding the front cylinder. I checked this sett against the origional sett off the bike and I/we can't see a problem or any difference. I'm still doughtfull about it at the moment but hopefully by tomorrow it'll be sorted.

Andy the carbs that you are running came from paul payne`s bike when he put CR`s on his so the carbs were ok.......

I know mate, but if the electrics and motor's ok it's gotta be the carbs. Cause it can't be fueling.

Carbs are in the van ready for the trip to Castle Combe, one full set and another set with the broken top and also has a broken bolt hole where the top bolts on, but ideal for spare parts.
