I read your entire thread, but it's no longer about the carb install problem.
You need parts, lots of parts, parts that are sitting around in peoples garages, basements, etc. If you post that new post on parts wanted along with your story and the pictures, you may get the help you need.
You've got nothing to lose in doing so.

I would like to jump on the band wagon and kick your brother up the arse too.

Well, I suggest you kick yourself up the A$$ as well. You should never have let spark and petrol be in contact with each other. Safety First, OH&S and all that. The only place that fuel and spark should be present together is inside the cylinders of your motor. NOWHERE ELSE.

Good luck with the repairs.

Um, how did the fire start exactly?

I think possibly my #1 carbs float level was off and it had a slow leak through the overflow valve. the valve timing may have been off or it back fired and lit the overflow. Also im unsure but I think the carbs were leaking into the air filter for some odd reason. I think it had to do with the over flow valve unable to leak out fast enough. But i had tubes on the overflow valves going to a seperate resevoir. I have no idea how it spread to my speedometer and tires. It was extremely bizarr. There could have been an electrical malfunction too.
