dont worry...it"ll get finished......by who...thats anybodys guess..lol I just got done welding up a rear dump pitts syle muffler for a poulan 46 (brillelli) for a guy here on rcu so thats one less thing I gotta do.
I was on the brillelli wesite and he has(had) a carb kit for the the "low emission" poulan 42 that has two extra intake ports(like this one) His carb spacer blocks those two upper ports and says youll get a 200rpm increase over stock. I dont see why this engine would be any different so ill make a new "port blocking" carb spacer and that will also rotate the carb for straight throttle linkage.
