To run 40 mm Maney belt drive with Drouin mounted and no 10mm/1/2" gap in primary cover fit i had to eliminate the Lucas alternator and fab up a 600 watt 3 wire voltage sensing alternator behind the engine cases. Finally dug everything out to mock it all up once to see I can't fit QuiwkSilver flat slide carb as planned.
W/o fancy bends and plumbing and mounts I don't see any carb but a Harley 'Shorty' carb fitting compactly. So reviewing excellent reports of Lake Injector on non-blown applications and Drouin applications seems only down side is the deadly sticking open of Lake flat slide by Drouin suction. Bruce McGregor first started his Drouin mate to mine with Lake Injector and he sensed the sticking hesitation to shut down in garage, so much so he refused to ride out of garage until positive shut off carb installed, which lead to some more carb experiments to get performance up. One Brit Iron list poster told me his daddy was killed in Mt turns by stuck Drouin Lake induction and shot off the cliff face. Kill button should be handy reflex one action shut off, not a hold and hold and hold momentary jokester.
Will try a push/pull dual cable throttle adaptation as Plan C but not sure how to pull that off - so open to ideas and cravats. Needle adjsusts up/dn via screw and top cable trapped by screw about that. Close cable is the tricky part.
Black blob is alternator that bolted to engage distributor gears of dragster engine not a pulley, I must adapt on its tapper no key way shaft. Under belt run jack shaft yet to implement but measured crude enough to imply its shade tree do-able.
Some more views, if run as dead loss battery power for some show off-ing minus 9 lb or so.
Hehe get a load of this air filter for size matters in function impression : )
