It is on the back burner for now but I will build one. Trying to get the Kadron carb and intake built first. I am running sooooooooooooooo rich I have to change plus every 100 miles or so. Today idling in traffic the plugs fouled I put in this morning. So I have a bigger problem than I thought with this bistard carb.............. no jets available the head on the jets are smaller than the threads on the jets. And yes I tried filing the head off slowly with a file. I need a lathe to cut them down. On the other hand a Kad should be real jet-able in comparison. But I had fun and that is all that matters to me. Making a intake with 2 flanges for a V style 2 cylinder engine is a real challenge you have 4 angles to get right or it will leak. Call me sometime.

For Webers, bread baking pans work well, I used Bakers Secret loaf pans for ages.
