OK guys, time for a new fundraiser to help support the forum.
This time I'm going to offer a service. Some of you who have followed Milwaukee Midget are aware that I am able to flow heads, manifolds, carbs, etc. I'm offering to flow a carb/carbs/throttle body for the lucky winner or winners.
I can currently flow test:
Weber DCOE/DCO
Weber IDA
Weber DGV
Dellorto sidedrafts
SU 1.25"
SU 1.50"
SU 2.00"
Stromberg 1.50"
Stromberg 2.00"
I am willing to make flow test adaptors for other popular types of carbs/throttle bodies, say Holley for V8 guys or slide throttle Mikuni for the bike guys, perhaps others.
This can be an opportunity to test your selection of carb bits, say, AIR HORNS or CHOKES or carb modifications versus a stock carb . . . . . . as I did for the Midget's engine. Knowing whether your carb(s) can flow enough to feed the "flow demand" of your engine's displacement @ the rpm you intend to run
would be useful . . . . . . .
I am using a Superflow 1020 for the testing, and the data is accumulated on my laptop. Winner to receive a printed flow graph of flow capacity @ WOT. Test pressure would depend on the size of the carb(s).
The test would be for 4 venturis (barrels), ie: one Holley 4 bbl; two Weber 2 bbl; 4 SU 1 bbl; etc. CARBS MUST BE TOTALLY FUEL FREE AND DRY!!! UPS/USPS/FEDEX ALL REFUSE FUEL WETTED PARCELS . . . . . AS I DO . . . . . .
Winner pays for shipping to my location under the cheddar curtain. I'll pay for return shipping to North American locations, and help on the cost of international shipment returns.
Bid increment should be something sensible, say $5. I think this will work if a good number of members participate.
Please comment or PM if you are interested or have any suggestions. Jon's in the loop on this so feel free to let him know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Mark
