 Well my tonti riding friend, that is why K&N filters are designed to
withstand small children and old people - they wreck havoc on your intake.
Now if I can just find that supercharger that someone posted...

PS this loop is for sale in CT

Yep,

I am sure that I will feel the air being sucked out of my apartment in
Manhattan when that engine ignites in Queens. Small babies and old people
beware.

Tom,

I have 40mm carbs on my project which can be seen in this picture:

I'm afraid the rest of the shots aren't that helpful because I have
the
carbs bagged. They are rubber mounted. Not sure about the adjusting
screws
(haven't had to tune them yet!) but I'll take a peek tonight. If I
can get a
digital camera I'll snap some more pics if you want.

Chris

Bought a pair of 40 mm round slide Dellortos for my Eldo off Ebay
and when
 I
got them I discovered they are set up for a wrong angle v-twin
(both sets
 of
adjusting screws are on the same side). Is this a something a
machine shop
 can do, or do I need to find a specialist in carb work? Seems to
me it
 should be fairly straight forward, but not sure. Reason for the
big carbs
 is
88mm sleeves and pistons and bigger valve heads. My goal is a nice
looking
 bike like Freds and lots of power.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. TIA
Tom
