No, the fuel is had twin sidedraughts, like weber/ delortos. I have a pair here somewhere. Spares and jets unobtainable, but they last forever.
Assuming the engines not being modified you shouldn't need to do anything other than float levels and idle mixture. If you need any bits let me know.

Re-read the original post. balancing is external. Set float heights, set centre balancing screw, then idle mixture, then idle speed.
