Dellorto Sinistra and Destra

Post by Paz2112 »

Silly question (I fear) alert!!

So I understand that the Dellorto's on the 350 Morini come in a left (S = Sinistra) and right (D = Destra) configuration. Question is why? With one pot facing forwards and one facing backwards the mixture screws and choke is always facing to the outside anyway. What other differences are there?

I am sure this has been asked before but I could not find any explanation.

Don't what? Don't come in a left and right?

I think they are both left handed. Makes sense the way they mount. If one was right handed the throttle stop and mixture screws would be on the inside of that carb.
