well got a chance to do a few things on the motor today soak it down with degrease

and got it all clean up than took carb. off . sorry these are not the best picture but dont have my camera any more and had to use the camera area phone.

made my custom intake for it were it will allow me to be able to have the carb up right with the motor on its side. also made a motor mount bracket of what i wanted . hopefully Saturday im able to get the intake on and the carb back on.

What are you glueing? why is the now useless tank still on it?

He has no choice at the moment. Tank is part of duct work that provides airflow.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Yea, I can see that now.

had to custom make the intake was using the expoxy to hold to together but didn't work the intake is three parts i made into one.

Just MIG weld the intake??

 

[ironman]

yea was going to but dont want it to warp and my welding is not the best when it comes to sealing something like a intake.

I went from a pressed (interference) fit flange and pipe assembly to a simpler adapter plate.
The pipe assembly worked well but suffered some carburetor icing, even on the hottest of days. Hence the switch to adapter plate.

[jr dragster T]

is that a vert engine that your converting into a horizontle?

Yea but its a 2 stroke so the only problem is the carb.
