Remember the the original two tiny holes near the screw hole underneath the base plate. We must plug them now. They are both 3/32 in diamiter. I purchased
some 3/32 brass solid rod. from mcmaster-carr.com
and cut a 3/16 peace and applied some locktite to it and carefuly punched it into one of the holes. the second hole I chose to use a very small machine screw with a large head. I applied more locktite red to it and screwed
it into the other hole. the size was perfect as to make its own threads while screwing into the soft aluminum base plate. The large head insures the brass plug installed a minute ago is held in.

The finished project.
(Lines not plumbed into manifold yet.)

I did four carbs in 6 hours with a minimal amount of swearing and throwing wrenches.


total cost of project was 26.00 dollars

There are many who operate blowers without
boost reference. I figured for 26 bucks and 6 hours
why not.

Gerry,
Please feel free to call me if anyone has
any questions.
