Here's some pics of Rudy's 1st carb job - GO TIGERS!
Main setbacks: we forgot the needle keeper. Realized after we were completely done. We lost the BB about 6 times 😂 A pretty fun job...We did not get frustrated 1 time! But we do need to pick up the pace to a little. I think we'll get on a role here quickly.
As you can see I have a cheap adapter and paper air filter. Anybody got an old oil bath filter? I'll post in the trader section also.
I promise I will get this moved to a build thread. I cannot access the site from my laptop via Wi-Fi for some reason. I have to use my phone. I'll get It figured out.

Looks like you guys jumped right in! It's a lot more fun with a helper, ain't it?
Root Beers for all!
Those old oil bath filters are pretty easy to find. I bet if you hit up RustBucket he probably has a dozen laying around. Nobody wants them anymore, but they're my favorite. Talk about cheap upkeep!
Abus has two of em here

Have fun! You're training future owners there, buddy!
