So, after this carbs running so well and functional,
I’ve now cleaned the carburetors and got them pretty spotless.
So, I can move on to fabricating the necessary adapters. I initially wanted to make them out of aluminum, but then I’d have to get them black-anodized as well...
Instead, I’ve decided to make them out of polyoxymethylene (POM). This plastic is fuel-resistant and easy to machine on a lathe. I need four pieces, each about 25 mm long; I’ve ordered a 150 mm length and plan to turn each one to the final dimensions before parting them off as finished components—
at least, that’s the plan ,..We’ll see how it goes—....I’ll keep you posted!
