Echoing just how awesome this project is, and looking forward to seeing more of the story unfold.

My guess is Toyota 4pots and a disassembled transmission in the tub.

This was kind of the only X-factor, but by doing some Googlin', I've discovered that sometimes the Harley guys need to pressure feed "high cube drag bikes, bro", and they use Mikuni part no 786-27001-2.3, which is a smaller float bowl valve "for pressure feed only". I strongly strongly suspect that this is the only "mod" being done to make the carbs work with pressure feed.


Ummm... could it be this simple/easy? eBay Link
Part number looks like it matches and says it's a needle valve, my understanding of carbs is all theoretical so I might be pointing to the wrong thing.

I've forgotten to tighten the rad hose after throwing in the rad and my mistake became very apparent when I was bridging the motor up to temp.

It's exactly like a really angry geyser, and the sweet smell of burning coolant once it hits the exhaust.

Also, no hood installed at the time. Inside the garage. COOLANT EVERYWHERE

I learned a long time ago about buy it once, buy it right. Cheap stuff costs more than expensive stuff.

I still have the occasional cheap moment, but I no longer try to nickel and dime everything.

Glad to see an update on this thread, and my heart sank when I read your last update on the oil filters. As a little fun fact, the first gen Honda s2000's can apparently vibrate off their oem oil filters, located directly above the exhaust headers, and it's exacerbated by high rpm operation (yay 9k redline) spilling hot oil on a hot exhaust :kingsley:
