Couple of minor issues to sort, had a bit of a game swapping some of the fittings and managed to shear the throttle cable ball.
Thankfully, a quick trip to Jim at Jim’s Autos this morning as he had a spare he was good enough to let me have. Had to re drill the cable / spring bracket as the base plate had different size fittings, but no great dramas.
Not had chance to fire up yet, as when I came to refit the passenger side, I realised the bracket holding the regulator and pressure gauge fouled the secondary accelerator pump arm, so removed it and reshaped it, thinking that was that.
Unfortunately, on replacement, I realised that clearing the upright didn’t stop it fouling, so a quick rethink is in order.
Once I’ve rerouted that and waited for the air filter stud adapter that I didn’t even think of, can get round to setting it up.
The only other thing that bothers me is that the fuel pipe is now pretty much leaning on the manifold, so will try and pull that clear when I redo the plumbing.
Pictures are a bit Bananarama! and probably don’t show it very well, it all fitted beautifully with the old carb, just unforeseen that it would be swapped out so quickly.
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not…
