The Carbs are back!

without comments

After a few weeks, our carbs and the linkage they went away with came back from Tampa. I had no idea how dirty the carbs were when they went, because the carbs that returned looked new! See Photo below.

When I started to install them on the manifold, I realized that the Carburetor Manifold Blocks were bad and they needed to be replaced. So, I ordered two and waited for them to arrive before the carb s could be reinstalled. lesson learned – double check all components (I replaced the gaskets ) but forgot the manifold blocks.
