Chris,

I'll buy it if I can keep it in your garage along with the keys.

PS. Of course I want to but four bikes in a pay garage in
Manhattan.........plus I wouldn't be able to get the sidecar out the
front door.

Now if I can just find that supercharger that someone posted...

Yep,

I am sure that I will feel the air being sucked out of my apartment
in
 Manhattan when that engine ignites in Queens. Small babies and old
people
 beware.

Tom,

I have 40mm carbs on my project which can be seen in this
picture:

I'm afraid the rest of the shots aren't that helpful because I
have
 
 the
carbs bagged. They are rubber mounted. Not sure about the
adjusting
 
 screws
(haven't had to tune them yet!) but I'll take a peek tonight. If
I
 
 can get a
digital camera I'll snap some more pics if you want.

Bought a pair of 40 mm round slide Dellortos for my Eldo off
Ebay
 
 and when
 I
got them I discovered they are set up for a wrong angle v-twin
(both sets
 of
adjusting screws are on the same side). Is this a something a
machine shop
 can do, or do I need to find a specialist in carb work? Seems
to
 
 me it
 should be fairly straight forward, but not sure. Reason for
the
 
 big carbs
 is
88mm sleeves and pistons and bigger valve heads. My goal is a
nice
 
 looking
 bike like Freds and lots of power.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. TIA
Tom
