I can also tell you that the needle settings between the two carbs are very different. The high speed needle in the Orion carb is buried much deeper into the housing than with any of my sirio engines.
So Sirio manufacture the ABI engine range?, I thought I read somewhere that they were manufactured by Picco

. I'd be much happier knowing they are manufactured by Sirio
