The Amazon carb naturally has zero adjustment. The fuel pump was leaking and missing some spring components. I ordered a carb rebuild kit, a replacement fuel pump and have the original one in my Berryman carb dip. Time to rebuild the original! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 66,653 #203 Posted May 15 First real rides happened! Wiring is roughed in too! I’m fighting fuel issues, so no more test runs until the big show. I rebuilt the original carb, but the fuel adjustment screws were a different thread pitch and it instantly stripped out the pot metal body. Thanks @TonyToro Jr. and @Sparky in advance for the parts supply! @wallfish needs more show projects anyway! 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 66,653 #210 Posted May 18 It’s with a heavy heart, I have found the turbulence inside that slim intake is a hindrance. It cannot be utilized, even though it literally took an 11 hour period to build! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He already has the crazy thing, is I can’t even get this to start (with the stock carb) with the intake on. A turbo would not fix that, as it needs to run in the first place to build boost, then the magic happens. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Using your existing round plate on the carb intake, build a dual intake spiral case to evenly distribute the air flow around the intake. With this larger area, the velocity will be much lower where it must make the 90 degree turn from horizontal to vertical. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 59,806 #221 Posted May 24 Kevin, any video that starts out with a cat on your shoulder is a good video. having access to both sides of the metal if you spot weld from the back side in between the top side spots it should pull the metal back flat as they cool. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 59,806 #224 Posted May 29 Kevin, I know that blood, sweat, and tears (literally) went into the belt guard air scoop build, BUT watching you trailer load inventory this morning I couldn't help noticing how cool a snow blower chute would look as an air scoop. Perhaps nex build. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don’t think this scoop is the final product, but it’s good enough for the show at this time. I have bigger fish to fry, like wiring, controls, etc. Plus maybe other projects in the mix as well 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
