I need some advice!!

[K.C.]

Part time carpenter? Really !!!! Why are you even trying to give me advice. Now that is some funny ****. Lmao. And your friends are some winners too. Can't wait for work and tell the guys they were right.

Once again all the information was there
For one thing I didn't get back on the forum for some time Because I gave up on this site. And being the fabricator and machinist that I am! Well just say that I did the research and figured it out. Good afternoon.

PROVE IT! We aren't ALL A-HO New Yorkers....sometime in the future....this information could help someone besides your self-centered self.

We don't give a flying flip about being proven wrong or right....just the CONTENT. of the information.....and the attitude towards this forum....(that's personal....and "doesn't necessarily represent the views of this forum or its management! ")

Soooo....go for it....or just go the F#ck away....(since you like cussing....)

Good gracious people...take a chill pill!
Every time someone doesn't grovel and hang on every word you guys flip out on them! If the balance tube is the center of all this mess, kc is correct...you don't have to run a common plenum. Snowmobiles don't. All the 4 cyl multi carb jap bikes don't. Dual carb V-Dubs don't. In fact, in the world of everything but V configured engines, I think you will fin more multi carb setups that run individual plenum to each cylinder than a shared plenum. There is absolutely no reason an individual carb on each cylinder won't work. It looks a lot like someone didn't like an idea and so now they are worthless and a drain on all around them. You throw a fit because someone didn't like your idea, never stopping to think that they could be right too. Oh well...hopefully KC sticks it out because, shame on him, he is breaking the mold and doing something unique.

hmm..

Well Denny's right on all he said.. his balance tube was no "YOU MUST" it's an
"it'd be much easier if" advice..
and that too is correct

yes I read the sentence.. yes he said "must be" but directly followed by "it'd make tuning easier"
sooo yeah so much for that.

Anyways, with the little info KC gave us, Denny's advice is all he could ask for.
And that was good advice too..
no crap, no babble just solid info with some useful hints.

for better (i.e. more detailed) info we'd needed the model of the engine to determine it's displacement and it's original carb config.
but sometimes you must work with what you have...

and that was barely anything.

"piston as big as" my fourfiftyfive... that's as useful as saying "it's about as big as my mom's sewing basket"

Anyways.. case closed..
next stop: the sunshine band

I DO NOT WANT to take the side of This CLOWN that insulted my Forum and my Friends, but...

I do not recall seeing a "balance tube on any of the Dual Carb VW buggies that used to be real common here in the Desert. Similar situation Opposed cylinder dual carbs.
So is it a Necessity?

I dont care if "Casey" comes back, but maybe this conversation can get useful.

NOPE....go back and read...(you can do that, right?)

It's not whether you agree or disagree with the advice given, but the piss poor attitude in which you take it.

Did you see me SAY ANYTHING before he dissed this forum?

Maybe the information wasn't 100% correct, MAYBE it WAS....WHO CARES?

He came here asking for help, we tried, and he showed us his A$$....

You wanna try....go for it....it's not the information that was the problem...we get it wrong sometimes....and as you may have noticed...I offered NO INFORMATION on this thread....BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A CLUE!

But I sure as Hades know an ungrateful, abusive FOOL when I see one...and THAT I know and react to...

balance tube is used in a lot of ir engines even in the V8's that are carb, operated. it does not always show up as a tube. just cause ya cant see it on the engine. most either use vacuum lines all connected to each carb or a internal type that's made into the intake on the bottom side so its hidden. either way I would think you would need one to balance not only the carbs but engine power also. especially on small 2 cylinder where don't have 2-6 other cylinders to help carry the weakest one.

here's fuel injection ir induction and still uses tube inform of vacuum line. but running without one will work, how well, how long, and how good of a job you do in matching even two alike carbs getting them synchronized together is all up to you and ya pocket book.

all the briggs opposed engines in 70's-90's up to 20.. when the v twin was made are basically same horizontal and vertical just different sumps on them and oiling, on these types of l head engines. same carb and most internal parts...and intake and air cleaner muffler are diff.

 

[wagx2]

So....from what I've read....they make good LOW RPM engines or boat anchors....but not very modify freindly.

don't think you were on board from the get go??? humorous yes, but could have stumped my toe and had less words.

we know and see that, hopefully this post will continue. growing old fast, watching post start, stop and die over comments started over a boy that must have had to play scrabble with his alphabet soup before he could eat it. would like to see the direction this engine goes, lord knows 90 percent of the builds are based on engines made in the past 50 yrs. and just because its on the internet, there could have been better mods. way before www.....

Please let me know where you work so that I will not have any work done there by mistake. If I was you're boss and came across this thread and read it I would fire you. You being the "expert machinist and fabricator" you say you are could not figure out how to put 2 carbs on a 2 cyl. engine? Please do us a favor and leave this site. We do not need it junked up by another troll. I'm out!

I only commented on WHAT I HAD READ.....and believe I stated that pretty clearly at that time.....

I ALSO made that comment BEFORE the OP posted pics....and was based off a V twin....NOT the engine he actually has....

We all would love to see and learn more here....but we can do without the attitude.

He stated "opposable'' head engine in first post...yeah misspelled, but being 16hp and opposable should have caught on somewhere, with having only 2 types briggs twins, opposed and v twin, ever made and reading thru a lot of the newbie post ya kind a jump the gun, coming in as the defender of the universe, punctuation is it that big of a deal??? just as above post OP. don't think that's in a dictionary. but not poking fun or jumping in on ya. Don't know ya that much, but on this one ya jumped in post after post negatively, and not once offered your opinion or suggested any reference for the thread, but then shoved another members post in his face, so why the high tension all the time???? its a public site. there's no background check to enter here, no fees....people from around the world post, talking about bonnets, petrol etc.... and there's no lash out at that when the younger audience probably are scratching there heads at those terms.. anyway just looking to figure out the madness to the method. so in order to communicate, we have to absolutely have a picture first, like our caveman counterparts.

He got denny's post, guess it didn't strike interest, and he did make the no answer comment maybe he had seen that and was waiting for different answer, we don't have to hit reply to post button on every comment, be the bigger man and let it ride. but...
boat anchor....thread lightly threat....punctuation police....belittling
only input ya gave!!! this is not only thread with same attitude ya talk about. every thread don't have to end up dead, with this type scenario..... so go back to the poboy way thread, chew me up and spit me out bash and smash. i'm still be here trying to read between the downsizing feel good situation,

Sorry for hj the thread off topic but elvis hasn't left the building, for the show to go ON..... if ya don't like a post, ya don't have to comment, yes I could have not posted to this but it seems... its in every thread....

by the way I still Love Ya, even if ya don't simmer-down.
