Can you run a 30mm Dellorto without the Anti surge plate.Thanks in anticipation.

yes but I think its too stop any bubbling / frothing of fuel in the chamber (an adult will be along shortly to confirm bud)

Thanks for the reply just wondering if anybody who runs without the plate have any running problems.

i have run without it,didn't have any problems.

I've run fine with it upside down, lol!

I dont think the 4 stroke PHBH 30mm we ran back in the early 80`s even had one fitted .

I did that once and it ran fine unless I was wringing it's neck, in which case it would run out of fuel after about 30 seconds on WOT. Then it would recover when I went back to half throttle.

Took me ages to work out what was wrong.

I have always wondered whether Keihins and Mikunis, certainly the smaller 24-28mm versions, would benefit from a device to minimise fuel sloshing about in quite small float chambers

Thanks for the replies.
