No high dollar tig machine here, just a old miller stick w/crank adj. Pray for me. I am going to be practice on scrap to find what it can bear in heat.

Ok guys I'm still tinkering with this bike I've gog the carb moved. Now to start building the bracket for the pullies. That is if I can get all my parts for the idler pulley from Wayne. I did get some history from him that kinda shocked me. He drove for years in the N.H.R.A. link http://www.70sfunnycars.com/FunnyCars31.html and just when you think you couldn't be blind sided. Wham! And WOW!  So here's a picture of the carb and manifold. Thinking on having the air cleaner and maybe the manifold chromed. What do you think?

If you have other stuff chrome, why not?  Question, How does your air filter housing allow air in?  Are there vent holes some where not seen in the pictures?

Carryall, it can be seen just barely look at the end away from the carb. That is the vent for the intake.

Besides Pd its just a little chrome I don't think it will get me hooked on it that quick.

How do you think 'addiction' starts ?
How many Simplex bikes did you start with ? ;)
