Carb three pics: I am having trouble with photo bucket now. I have about 17 pics there and I am getting a memory problem at their site. Could I be over the free limit?




I will try posting the bottom view and slide needle pics whenever I get photobucket to work right again.

I can appreciate the effort and though these carbs have many differences from your stockers, you're learning.
As I've tried to say before, these carbs have water corrosion damage. They have pitting. The internal passages you can't see will be damaged too. Fuel will not flow correctly, nor will air. O-rings won't be able to seal without a smooth surface. I doubt the moving parts operate the way they should. You could replace all kinds of parts but the bodies still are damaged.....
My experience says these are only good for a part here or there. I'd never install them and try to tune them.
Just thought I'd say that one more time. :roll:

I am not sure what flavor of VM carbs they are but they are not smoothbores. After seeing those pics I am sure of that now.

[KEITH KRAUSE]

You're right Mark. Not smoothbores. Different intake, etc.
Doesn't matter because they should not be used for anything but a part here or there. You can see water damage everywhere. I can see water signs everywhere.

Those are VMSS slides too. Smoothbore slides are nothing like that. They are weird animals that is for sure.

Looking closer it appears they put caps from smoothbore carbs onto regular VMs?
