Any numbers anywhere? It does have a look of the Weber about it but can't be sure.

happy days, well its running rough as hell, and the butterfly valves dont open till over half throttle, and then don't actually open that far on full throttle, i take it i'll need to get it set up by someone that knows what they're doing.

It is a weber 38/38 DGAV.
Simultaneous open throttle, look at picture second picture, conection down the air cleaner, between medium hose.

Water choke looks like it came from Ford.
BMW´s are smaller.


Sorry about my english. :-)
