A Small victory for Man - in Man vs Carb

[DCrippa]

Yes there aren't words to describe the elation of this small bit of triumph.

Congratulations! That looks like one cantankerous fragment there.

Who managed, what in the, wow! Good going, I have no idea how you managed to remove that without massacring the rest of it.

Wow... Looks like a mini German stick grenade that went off.

Well, we have yet to see about that... I just took a long ride on the Fizzer this past weekend.... just shy of 1000 miles to Ohio and back (DC) with some nice backroad detours... and I made beer the weekend before - so the cafe project has been on hold... I plan to reassemble now that I've sorted most of the basic electrical wiring and will fill it up with oil and test fire it all up soon.

I feel it'll be alright - worse case scenario I figure, I'll just have to replace it with a spare that I luckily have laying around - which is why I wasn't afraid to go at it with a drill - some light scuffing on the threads from going at it... but it doesn't look too bad... it may let more air in than it should which would require a re-jet but I'll have to wait and see about that.
