I had the same problem with my engine . I simply turned the carb 90 deg. and that solved the clearance issue. However this may effect the mixture flow ...
Erwin, Thanks for the reply. I had to turn my carb 90 degrees in relation to the rear of the engine too. Even then, it is still a tight fit. My intake run...
Hi Phil, I would not secure the carb to anything ells than the engine , as there is relative motion between the engine and the fire wall however small that me...
Hi Erwin, I have a 1/4" 4130 steel plate attached to the rear of my VW Type 4 engine (just below my fan pulley) in order to provide me with attach points for...
The carb must be solidly mounted on the engine. Mounting it to other parts will result in problems with any flexible ducting, and is generally a bad idea. You...

Hi Gang, I've seen this before but I don't know where; Can someone tell me (about) how much liquid 100LL it takes for say 1 liter of air to get the desired...
Rich, I'm brand new to the group, but since 1 liter = 1000ml (cc), and 1000 / 14.7 = 68.0272(etc.), I suppose you're looking at 68.03ml (x 0.00026 = 0.0176Gal ...

Bill, Thanks for checking it out. I think the outside of the 91.5mm cylinder was around ~97.8 mm if I recall correctly. I guess that is good since the 90.5mm...
