Well, had to make a bit of a disappointing decision today. I'm returning the carbs to their previous owner. Too much unusual things about them, and not maintained well. I got them from an acquintance so didn't look into them that much. Luckily I get my money back, but that also means I don't have Webers anymore. So I am on the lookout for a new (used) pair. Tips are welcome.
Also good news. I made some room for a working bench and a storage rack for all the parts that were laying all around. And I took the engine's head of today, I think there's one or two more hours of work to take of all the parts before I can start cleaning up. We checked the pistons and the piston chambers. I was quite satisfied finding out there are no (not sure if that's proper English) ridges on the edge of the chambers.
This afternoon my uncle showed up by surprise. He saw a picture I posted on Facebook of my new "revision corner" and brought me something unexpected. He had an unused engine stand sitting in his garage for years and decided I could put it to use. All I need to do is fit the mounting plate, which I will be doing next week.
