Actually.....I had an issue with my bike carbs...ran like ****...couldnt balance them....


Pulled them off the bike, made a ghetto fitting with a plumbers T peice, some vacume cleaner hose and 'lecy tap and used the vacume cleaner

Worked out that one carb was sucking more air than the other by simply looking how far each needle was raised..

Worked out that one carb was sucking air thru the top part of the diaphran. Small dab of silicon fixed it.

Oh...and Mikuni' are flat side with plastic slides...

No....actually...but it WAS CHEAP.

Oh them freezing mornings when we had to mix powdered milk with a kettle full of hot water to disolve it then add cold water. And it qas a kettle full per calf. And when you you had 10 calves...

Last time I raised calves was about 8-10 yr ago. My first calves I bought for $20 each, the last batch I paid closer to $180 each. My first bag of milk cost less than $15 a bag, the latter over $60 a bag (cost price). I'd raise about 30 at a time but we had a decent HWS. Even after a few years in the paddock I could still climb on the back of most of them. (Just like it sounds Shaunous)

Ahh drinking in Port Lincoln,I once was a pub attendee back in the day,one arvo I recall I pushed my way too the bar,it was an unusually busy afternoon **** loads of people,holding my money in front hoping to get the barmaids attention ,cutting a long story short I got **** faced with Mel Gibson and Bill Hunter.
Was during filming of Gallipoli which was shot here and near by at Farm beach.

Spent a bunch of my scarce apprentice money on a 650 Holly with vacuum secondaries for my HQ Statesman with a stupidly lumpy cam.
What a piece of ******* ****.
Never got it to do anything right. Pinged its head off no matter how big I went on the mains.

Got given a Rochester 750 with mechanical secondaries that needed a kit put through it. Awesome.
You could virtually watch the fuel gauge move when the secondaries opened. Roared like a ************.

Ah, those were the days.
Time wasting, expensive days..

Thank **** for EFI.

Put a 750 double pumper Holley on my 351 Cleveland and with the stall of the FMX and 2.77 gears in the 8 and 1/4 diff turned the XD into a lazy fuel drinker. Put on an edelbrock manifold and 1/2" carby spacer, replaced the 750DP with a 600 with open secondaries and it was like hitting powerband.

My old one tonner had a 253 and I think a 3.55. But it always felt taller.
Doing about 11,000 RPM at 100 k's doesn't exactly make for relaxed cruising.

We only do this when the mother refuses her calf or the mother dies, we do buy powered milk, and to be honest i never looked at the price, but the calf in the pictures page previous only went through about a bag and a half before going onto grass, Ralph is her name :) answers like a dog, although she is just over 1yr old now and ignoring me a little, being cool in front of the other weaners i suppose. She is missing half an ear and deaf in that ear becuase 2 of our cattle dogs picked on her alone when I wasnt paying attention one day, so she's easy to pick out, that and she is the only one with horns as I plan on keeping her as a milking cow once she gets 'mounted'.

My brother had her in town for a while, overheard a guy at work in the stores saying 'Somethings wrong with my kid, silly ******* thinks he can hear cows in town, he must be half deaf or something', got a great laugh when I figured out he lived accross the road from my brother.
 
I had a HJ Wagon.308,2.6:1disk brake WB Stateman diff. Ran a 20/60 cam with Qjet. Tried a Holley and it was ****.

Was a great wagon. Heaps of torque. Sat on 100km/hr at about 1800 rpm with 265/50/14

That old ***** was awsone when you sat back at 100k and banged it into 3rd. Put it smack bang in the torque curve. Used to pull 6500 in 3rd. **** it when

If John Meillon had have shown up, you would still be shaking of the hangover today.
 
I'd love to own a HG or HT Kingswood. Currently driving a 2010 SS 285kw 6 speed which I must say is a great drive but wouldn't mind a nice loud, lumpy smelly Kingswood.

But I would prefer power steering.

Hahaha! Nothing wrong with a 253. My mates boat used one and no matter where we were in Westernport the damn thing wouldn't drift no matter what the tide.
 
Pfftt..you *******..

I am building an 1100 motor (bored to 1220) with a 13/4 SU with a 266/276 cam, custom exhaust and a very trick head. Lots of torque and about 80hp. Combine that with an 800kg car...its going to be fun

With a handle like your username, I would have thought this would have been about the " finger in one hole, eye (or tongue... Whatever your fancy) in the other and free hand on the grip" method of balancing Dell'ortos.
 
There is a reason Re Delortoes

There is a a reason Re Webbers

Holleys suck balls , which is why Ford tuners use QJets.

SU....well...they just work. ...and it dont matter if the needle is wrong.........they still work
 
And the late model Dukes use "flat side " Mikuni ..and the whole slide assembly is made of plasric
 
Apart from all this stuff about carbs




I still camt find this ******* needle.

****....its 2 1/2" ( 60mm) long and its not shag pile carpet.
