Thanks, Tim. I recieved your carb today. It is in line after a few more tests, like a TD cylinder and piston. By the way, did you guys know that even the "modern" killer-bee engines have a different crank than other reedies? They look the same, but the extra material around the base of the rod journal is a little larger, and the O.D. of the crank is .500" where a standard reedie is about .528" all other dimensions appear to be the same.

Just curious, Tim, If you took a highly polished alluminum part and clear anodized it, would it keep it's original high luster?

I recieved a Tee Dee .049 the other day that I purchased from E-bay. It is (believe it or not) the first Tee Dee I've ever owned. If it wasn't for the lack of a throttle, that carb looks as if it would be pretty sweet. I like the multiple discharge holes they have in the venturi. It looks as if it would do a great job of atomizing fuel, but I bet that doesn't matter much after it all goes through the crankcase.

I'm rambeling---I think work is stressing me out.
