Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

Nice bit of kit.
If you don't have a few grand to spend, there is this version. A bit old school but it works.

I spent months when I was a young apprentice learning how to file and chisel correctly, had bruised and skinned hands from holding that damn chisel, still miss sometimes but I'm learning.

Never stop learning. Smiley

Carbs have arrived. Twin 1 1/4" HS2 and MG 1100 manifold. Had a slight problem with a broken dashpot screw. It had sheared off flush with the surface and would not budge. A lump of weld on the end (something to grip onto plus adds heat) then a soak in WD40 and it came out cleanly.
They will obviously need a refurb, but it's a nice little job I can do inside in the warm, when it gets cold in the garage.

After an hour soaking in very hot water and dishwasher powder and a little scrub with an old tooth brush.
Cheaper than sending it off for vapour blasting !

The twin carbs have really changed the look of the engine. Rebuild not finished, but now they are temporarily mounted, I can make a start on the exhaust manifold. Looks like I will have to make do with short ram pipes, as the mouth of the front carb, already protrudes past what will be the bonnet side line.
