Bob,
The first time I built one of these carbs I thought "there's no way this thing will work!" but it does. Looks good!

Thanks George.  Does the orientation of the .020 hole in the spray bar make a difference?   The hole could be parallel to the axis of the throat of the mixer body or it could be oriented perpindicular.  I assume that I would want it parallel inorder for it to draw fuel.  Arv's notes do not specify.

Good question Bob, I was assuming the same thing you were, parallel. Looking forward to the answer.

Perpendicular, at least that is the way it is on my 1.5hp John Deere Stationary engine.

Actually been there, done that Jim, though it wasn't quilting it was counted cross stitch. When I was younger and the eyes were better I found it quite relaxing. Unfortunately any needles I have left over from those days though have more rounded blunt points. This application needs sharp points. Hoping to get by Hobby Lobby this afternoon :)

I put mine parallel with the axis of the throat of the carb. That way it seems to make more of a Venturi.

It's surprising how many men have done counted cross stitch or needle point..............myself included.  I think it has something with the way the process works that appeals to them. One of the most famous to do needle point was Rosey Grier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosey_Grier I remember on a talk show he said that he's actually a gentle person.........................unless he sees someone holding a football!  :hammerbash: Or a gun if you read his bio.

PS: This needle valve project is interesting. It never occurred to me to actually use a needle for a needle valve.  :Doh:

Just worked through the whole thread Bob looks great loved all the set ups with the face plate and the pallet. I had not seen the pallet device before. it looks like the surface is ground and the sides milled?

If you can imagine it you can build it

Great to have you along Mike.

Yes, you are correct.  Only the top surface is ground.  At the time when I made it, I didn't have anything to bank it off of to grind the sides square.  Also, lengthwise it I don't think it would fit under my little Sanford grinder.  I milled pretty square directly on the mill table.  What I was after was a flat surface parallel to the bottom of the pallet. 

I would call it a fixture plate, but Tom Lipton did a video and called his a mini pallet.  They've been around forever.  They are real handy.

Still following along Bob.  :popcorn:

I remember Rosey. And quilting is on my 'someday' list. Odd...I was just thinking about it the other day.

Thanks Carl.

This will probably be a slow week for updates.  My wife is on vacation and we are spending a bunch of "qt" while the kids are at school.  I'm still going to try and get some shop time in.

I agree with comments made by others here. This is great fun watching three of these builds going on. Especially when a Benchmaster is used!  :cheers:

Pete

Which one of you guys has my old Benchmaster?
