Little confused by this myself. Its gravity fed... All fluid should flow the same once it's full, no matter the length, right?

As long as the lengths are equal. Based on fluid dynamics, if one length is longer than the other, then the longer length will flow faster and can even cause the other side to quit flowing altogether. I think that's XB's point. the 2x length will create the vacuum to encourage flow. Shorter can cause it to restrict.
 
The flow of fuel through the lines is neither fast nor constant, so I'm still seeing how unequal lengths matter.
 
Well at last we figure out Bradj's and XB33BSA's issues... They confused EQUILIBRATE with INEBRIATE... ;D
 
6v regulator/rectifier from Sparck for the XL. Time to make it go.

Agreed.
Make one 6' and the other 2 and you're still going to get fuel to both carbs ;)

Yeah, I got it backwards. If you draw from two reservoirs into a wye, then they both have to be equal even at a drip, or it will draw from one more than the other. So, I have no explanation for what he meant.
 
Not a purchase but I got this old Sears Gilera Sr124 running and riding last night for a guy.

Pretty cool old twingle and my first Italian bike Ive ever rode.

Headlight arrived today for the fairing. Got it from http://www.treatland.tv/, absolutely great guys to deal with. I've ordered quite a bit from them for my MB5 and always a great experience.

Headlight looks blue in the pic for some reason, but its not.

Isn't the SR124 a 4/ single?

The twingle was a 2/ made by steyr-daimler-puch. Best known was the 250cc sold here as an Allstate.
Twingle referred to the twin cylinder, single combustion chamber design, hence twin-single = twingle. One cylinder functioned as the intake and the other as the exhaust.

I am not sure how big those guys are but you are absolute correct. The sheer amount of stuff I've bought and help I've received from these guys regarding my scooter has been insane!

You would know better than I Charlie, I honestly cant seem to find anything on this old scooter.
I assumed it was a twingle as the only information I could find was about puchs.

Oh and Im continuing to confuse it as a Garelli instead of a Gilera. Thanks xb33BSA

Im all kinds of messed up when talking scooters. No damn clue.
