The quality on these newer Del'Ortos is not as nice as it used to be. I bought this 16.16 to put on my GHX50, and my Morini came with a new 14.12. I have an older 17.5 that is a good deal higher quality. These new ones aren't much better looking than the Clones. Hint, hint.

AMAZING w/ good intake & filter

As long as you have a good air filter and a solid intake (don't forget the rubber o-ring gasket behind the shim at the clamp)- this carburetor can do no wrong. It's a good size for bigger kits or stock bikes.
Here's the o-ring gasket in a set: http://www.treatland.tv/dellorto-SHA-carburetor-gasket-set-p/dellorto-15sha-gaskets-5257900.htm
Also, picking a good air filter or modding the stock filter and air box can be an important part of tuning.
After trying a variety of filters, I really like this overall: http://www.treatland.tv/tun-60mm-SHA-filter-p/tunr-sha-screen-filter.htm
Chamfering the slide or modding it is also an option for tuning.
This is a very underrated carb.

No problem mounting with the long intake I got. Looks nice and shiney! Hope it works as good as it looks. The choke is a little confusing. Ha

well built, easy to work on. fits on a puch e50 but not when your puch e50 is mounted to a 78 jc penney pinto. you can make it work but the choke lever will be blocked. maybe somebody else played more tetris in their youth and had better luck.. back to bing.
