Re: single carb set up

["The House of Bryant" <tbryant@alpha.ultraweb.net>]

Didn't the type 3 come with a single sidedraft carb at one time? 
someplace?  If my memory serves me correctly,(I am thoughly suprised when
it does!) there is an Aussie tech manual that mentions a "side drought"
single carb.  Wouldn't even begin to attempt to find one though....
