My thoughts are with you and yours.
Family allways comes first, spend as much time as you can with them, good friends will allways be there when needed at any time.

I've been there mate, with the wifes family. Thoughts are with you.

Good thing about metal is you can leave it alone (well pretty much) and it will still be there next year unlike family.

I'm a great believer in the power of prayer - or thoughts, or whatever you want to call it.

And mine are with you too.

tony turn inlet top part around (the part with the water pipes on) so carb is on outside and use a spacer block to space as far as you need

Take a look at Flap's orange trike in the Motors, 3 wheels bit of the main site

The Flapster

We had a similar problem, though not quite that pronounced, when we had to fit the SU carb under a QuickBob tank, (QuickBobs are an aftermarket copy of Harley FatBob tanks, but one piece, instead of the 2 piece Harley jobbies). We made an extended manifold from a length of ERW tube. Flap says it works fine but in the Winter he wraps the tube in exhaust bandage. He reckons the fuel starts to ice because of the length of the tube, leading to spluttering & mis-firing. The bandage cured that.
