Carb pics

Some of our friends From the motor company are flying my dad and I out to York to do a tour and talk to some of the employees on wednesday. We will be back on Sunday. So I am trying to get some projects ready for Jesse and Ray to work on. My dad is gearing up to do a batch of carbs.... like 18 of them! All of the bowls in the front row are for early nickle plated carbs, that are still off at the platers.


Here is a dirty nasty bowl for a 45 that probably has not been cleaned since it was new!



This raised casting code is in all 38 and earlier aluminum bowls




The upper left bowl is for Jim's 36, the lower right one is a bowl that I have been holding on to for years. It is the hardest to find linkert bowl of all time, It isn't mentioned in any books, I have only seen two other ones. It is for super late 38s. It has the early casting date on the inside, and is machined with a fly cutter before the drain is drilled and tapped. Later ones were counter bored-drilled andthen tapped. Anyways, I am going to put it on Jim's 38 carb. I have to do a wild fix on the stem hole, but it will be worth it.

Ray is finishing up Bob's 45 transmission today. It is turning out great.

My dad is cutting valve seats on knuckleheads and trying to catch these other three sets up with the rest of them.

And I am working on cables and Wiring on Andy's bike. The throttle cable runs outside of the frame on 36 to 47 big twins.

motors motors and more motors

My dad is almost finished up with Jason's 65 motor. We are waiting on a batch of cad plating that is supposed to show up next week. The box has Jason's original cam cover screws, lifter block bolts, and d ring bolts in it. We have some set up ones in the motor now and will switch them out as soon as it shows up. I love how industrial and massive this motor looks. 65s are soo cool.


Here is a pic of Bob and Dave's 45 motors side by side. These things are cool




Here is a stamp from a project I am working on with a friend.

etc...

Ray finished up Bob's 45 motor this weekend. This thing is really neat. Bob is a local guy who bought this bike for 90 dollars back in the sixties. It is going to be nice.


Here is a double stamp on the head, I thought it was pretty neat. I wonder if it was done on a monday or a friday.



I got a bunch of stuff put on the 52 this morning. This bike is coming along well. Still have to finish up the wiring and cables, but it should be done soon.
