Hi Jesse,   Thank you sir!

Hey JT,  You calling me nuts????  Brother, I'm not the one building that insane trike in the Other Models Section !!!

Curt,  I put 135mm's in for the main jets but I don't know if that will give me enough top end on the Mulsanne straight !

Hi Scott,  Thanks, you got your hobby room done yet?

Eric,  Thanks for commenting, I'm a big fan of your work!

Hi Chris,  You've got no time to be looking in here, get that drag car done !

Thank you Gene !

Hi Mike,  Always good to get support from fellow non finisher!

 

 

Have not made much progress this past month.

Still finishing the first carb...

Made up the throttle shaft and valves...

 

Added the throttle lever and made sure I have 90 degrees of travel and valves wide open at full throttle...

 

Hooked up the linkage...

more..........

Note to self, need micro-spring...........for you know what.   I don't think I've every seen ANY model weber carb, no matter what the scale, as nice as this.  I had them on my MGB as a kid, and your pics bring back memories (being an MGB, most weren't that great).    The shot with the light shining down through the throat is just a big ol' giggle.  Thanks for the update Randy,  Tim
