Hi folks,
I've been following this thread on the conversion but have some questions:
https://tinyurl.com/ygoj9o6
Do you elongate the holes in the carb to make it fit the existing stud pattern on the manifold? I just want to double check before I take a file to a brand new carb!
Also, on my engine at least, it is necessary to use carb vacuum to suck on that hose coming off the valve cover, otherwise there is big oil leaks. Has anybody figured this out on the HS4 - there is a tiny pipe but that must be for the vacuum advance. There is a larger hole but that has been shut off at the factory with a plug. Should I try and remove this plug and fashion some sort of pipe?
Cheers
