This is the worst rack I've seen YET!!!

think of the money to be saved on plant food

 

And now, Back to our regularly-scheduled broadcast----

As the day ends, and the sun goes down-- we see our carburetor cowboy putting three of the four carbs to bed for the night. They're tired from a good workout. The fourth one is still busy.




The fourth carb still needs to have the emulsion
tube removed, and all four mixture screws still need to be removed. BUT-- the mixture screw plugs are still in... so these have never been molested! They should be pretty easy

 

Starting to look like carbs instead of a turd pretending to be a set of carbs. Those are a candidate for Vapor blasting .

 

I am planning to sodablast them

 

Do you have your own soda blasting set up Dave?

 

Yes-- I made a homemade setup. It good for carbs, but not big things like car frames or stuff

 

Just for fun, the owner sent me this pic..... A close-up of the frame --the lower right cradle by the oil level sight glass

 

I’m sure you have a frame you can send him with the finished carbs. I wouldn’t want to tackle that restoration.

 

The last piece of the enricher shaft has FINALLY moved a teeny bit. Lots of heat-cycling, tapping, and kroil.....here it's on its way out! All the emulsion tubes are out, all slide needles are good. The only thing to pull yet are the mixture screws after I drill the caps.

 

All that unnecessary work, all you gotta do is adjust the idle adjustment knob!

 

Maybe it just ran out of gas

 

my god, what does the owner intend to do with this project?

 

You guys are just be so means!

 

Okay Lensy Lohan!

 

Watch yourself or I'm gunna go all bat-$$$$$ crazy on you................

 

I think he just plans to pull the good parts off.... all three parts--- lol!!! I got the rack to pull any useable parts--- but it was SO bad, it became a challenge to myself to see that if it came apart without breaking anything.."could I actually revive THIS rack". So, that is what I'm trying. As long as thing keep coming apart correctly, and things don't get broken, I'll keep going on it.

 

and back out the sync screws do not forget that detail

just needed a racing petcock to solve that issue and a trip to gas station

 

All the mixture screws are out, all parts ready to finally start being cleaned. I'm SO glad the plugs were still in-- I think the mixture screws would have been the death of these, otherwise.
Like the bowls?!?! Lol

 

So at the end of today, things look much better.... some parts will get replaced, but it's looking much more promising. I actually see the bottoms of the bowls!! They're not done yet, but they're a whole lot closer....

 

OMG - you got to have an up-charge for carbs that look like that
