File # DSCF0451 shows the left venturi with a rough ring of casting flash in the "vena contracta"(the narrowest and therefore most effective part of the venturi profile, if it is smooth). I have smoothed off the other venturi to enhance air flow.
File # DSCF0491 shows the air jets of the venturi cluster. I have smoothed one and the other one is still original.
File # DSCF0506 shows the both polished venturis and venturi cluster just sitting in position.
File # DSCF0517 shows a brass tab that is holding the idle cam and preventing it from moving freely as it was originally intended. It is needed to provide a permanent stop position for the throttle linkage.
File #'s DSCF0519 -520 and -521 show a sequence of blocking the float bowl vent with screen,then crankcase breather filter and then safety wire. Not necassary if we were using a normal air filter.
All other aspects of the carburator are right on the money by the book. Enjoy the pictures.
p.s. The "vena contracta" thing came from my magna cum laude, engineering degree neighbor up the street.
