Briefly considered having a go at doing mine, but wouldn't last long really, and having something clean in the bay might look a bit odd!STOCK...tm wrote:The carb is polished.... the one in the photo was for a 1600 'kent' engine... it was made in 1969 so 40 years old..... thought it deserved a clean up..... guess i got carried away!-JC- wrote:Is the carb painted, polished or chromed? Looks good either way!

Excellent workmanship. Does this perfection extend to the rest of your motor?..

Nice work, heres one i knocked up, youl notice its a 1600 with a 3kg steel flywheel, it revved like a chainsaw but this one had a problem we could never get to the bottom of, the cam was deemed to wild.
