Grey cells fading

I can't answer this question, Mark, but I'm interested in the answer as i have the same set up. I'm guessing that if they're not needed, we can blank off the aperture at the bottom where the tin on the right bolts to the engine block?

 

Ignore that question... I've just seen Zedders' previous reply! Thought I was at the end of the thread and didn't realise there were subsequent responses!!!!

 

I fitted it on but blocked the holes with a bit of sheet metal in case I lose it or don't get on with Dellorto's but it'll prob come off and get sold

Those look familiar. I made mine bolt on same way as the pipes, mainly because I'd painted the heat exchangers before I realised they needed capping off. I was going to put the pipes in and cap those to leave the fan option, but my cooler oil lines are in the way.

 

If it makes you feel better, the last time I built an engine I had it all installed then bottled on the tight deck height before starting it. Out it came, stripped down, barrels shimmed, built back up and installed again. I ran the cam in which went fine but I couldn't sleep so I took it back out and stripped the heads and barrels off one side just to look at the cam. Mental. Back together, back in...

 

I have in the past, but it really doesn’t do much. They get so hot. Brass nuts are more effective in my experience.

 

Now one side has to come off again, I'm glad I greased them too

 

Not better but at least not alone

 

Redoing the heat exchanger to get the LHS elbow in - done
I can't work out which way round this plastic pipe on the RHS goes, neither way makes sense to me.
Option A

Option B

 

Is that pipe standard, mine are flexible corrugated paper ?

 

I believe so. If it isn't, I blame @davidoft

 

On the assumption that it goes up to the snail fan on the right hand side... that can't be correct... possibly!

 

That's my point. Scratching my head on this one

 

Mine look like this.

Option A is right , your fan looks like it’s in the wrong place

 

It's on the original mount though. The original paper hose fits on the LHS ok. Genuinely puzzled.

 

The fan looks to be in the correct place and if the left hand paper one fits, you need the other paper one for the right hand side.
I have every respect for Davidoft, he has or will have seen every part know to man.
However, if the tube is solid plastic and even if it could be made to reach the snail fan, how would that work as the engine/ exhaust will flex and the fan is fixed to the rigid body ?

 

It is the right part and it's only supposed to go half way. I just think it's point a weird way.

 

That fan would clash with the air box/ carb connectors on a stock, think it usually more middle front.. but a length of round to round corrugated will connect them .. the standard right side one is oval at one end to fit the tin without the plastic stand off .. even though it doesn't very well....
