Ordered heat sleeve suggested by Swies. Hope it makes a difference. Ken

Having trouble logging in. The carb gasket is 3/8 " thick and there is no snorkel valve. Most of the gas line is metal with the fuel filter moved to the area opposite the rt. wheel inner fender. Perhaps that is getting heat from the exhaust manifold but now being far from the carb I'm thinking...

Sometime ago I was having a problem with the carb seeming to be boiling when I shut off the engine and then it was difficult to start. So I had the carb professionally rebuilt - fixed the heat riser { new spring and it works smoothly } Removed the intake manifold and cleaned out the crossover...

I would be interested in the day/night rear view mirror if it is in good condition. Thanks Ken [email protected]
