HA! I did the same thing, the electrical insulating washers - they’re the right ID, but too large of an OD. I’ve got three plans in place: 1)...
And naturally when putting the carbs back together I lost the throttle linkage bushing. This little guy. Anyone know where to source a...
Fuel and air tubes showed up - they look like they’re great quality, but the one air tube is supposed to be a four piece, this one: [IMG] [IMG]...
Ehhhhh I’ve always steered clear of metal stuff in the jets. They’re miles better than they were - I feel good about them. Just waiting on the SS...
Ah. I did not - put them up to light, saw light. Sprayed cleaner in one end, it came out the other. All the rest of the gunk in there...

Ah. Well. Honest Q - how would this be accomplished? Remove the plenum, Pull the cables, loosen all the clamps (some of them were oriented...
Thank you, that helped a lot. One of the fuel tubes did not make it, however: [IMG] I guess I am doing the Metal upgrade. Going to grab this...
