Default Pretty impressive performance.

Hi Phil

Sorry we will not see you in June but may attempt a Rotters driveby in late July for your show.

Watch that vacuum going down hill ...... besides sucking in a gasket you may suck the engine inside out.......

Will be installing my rebuilt carby this weekend.... I hope.... been rebuilt and flow tested..... dropped it off and the owner's ( in his mid 40s) showed me the work station they use to test carbs...... built in the 50s....it has a series of special glass venturi columns and a glass 30 inch tall mercury vacuum guage..... nothing digital in that shop. Carb is suppose to be a bolt on with very minor adjustments to idle screw if at all........... fully anodized.... parts replaced as required.... shafts bushed.... and new leather accelarator pumps.....claims the new neoprene pumps disintegrate in 3 years or less with the new gasoline..... leather may dry but once wet will function well again.

Hang in there.

Bob
