Re: Flatback carb conversion

Rob, For the time being, I'm using pumpers and diaphragms that I, errrrrr... my dad bought from Griffith Specialties in the '90s. Original pumpers pop up on eBay from time to time.

Re: Friday early arrival for TBO

Thanks, Bob. That's good to know, too, but I did end up getting a motel room. Natalie's schedule freed up and she asked if she could come along. She's not a camper, lol.

Not saying that's related to making either engine run individually, but I wonder how the two will run together, once you get each of them going. The carbs have d...
