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...

Thanks for looking !

Yeah, because working butterflies were not enough you find "micro spring" and cable to go INSIDE IT to make a throttle cable! We are not worthy!!!!!

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

I got nuttin . but holy smokes. And I thought the scratch built Weber alone was something, now you making it actually work with a functioning cable and linkages. .

you sir are modeling at a different level than 99.999 % of masses.

WOW!   I can barely see it in the picture...let alone be able to see to make it!!  ....or find the part I just cut even though I heard it go back and to the right and bounce twice...so it has to be right ......here    somewhere  maybe....
