NortonMKIIA850 said:p.s. If dynodave's watching, I heard tell over at the NOC forum that Andover Norton are testing a set of balanced pipes specifically for the MKIIA, if so and the planets align that is something that I'd certainly try one day!
As I check into this thread on occasion looking for something relevant...
Is it remotely possible the MKIIA did NOT come originally with balanced pipes???? I have no way to know. Does AN doing this testing actually prove the MKIIA did NOT come with balance pipes??? Did the MKIIA come with different carbs???
first: I do not have a MKIIA parts book so my research is limited.
The things I am looking for are if the pipes are the same.... upswept or low interstate. peashooter, interstate, or black caps.
Air box front cover: simple flat or with internal snorkle or black plastic MKIII style..
Any possible explainable difference due to RH4 VS RH10, if any.
I only worked on 1 850A a long time ago and don't remember it it was a 73 or 74.
Currently I default to the cutaway spray tube as being for the balance pipes and jetting changes are for the other applied devices.
Without dyno work and the MKIIA manual I have no way to back it up or advance my opinion. :mrgreen:
