interesting carb on the bay

Hello Dave,

The heart of this carb will be the needle taper and jet. If you are thinking about the 917; You will need to be able to measure the needle taper precisely and then reproduce it numerous times. The rest is just precision engineering.

Yup ...well I'll need to replicate it at least twice!.       Right now it's all exploratory.     It would be easier to hide 2 carburetors if they looked like part of the Bosch slide valve fuel injection system, so at the very least, I had to at least look at what's available, and what would be entailed to build one...or should I say 2.

Like I've said, I'm thinking 2 carbs, one on each bank of 6.    That said I'm trying to disguise it all a bit  (10 dummy injection stacks and 2 real carbs  for this instance)
I am not considering building 12,  or even 4.  carbs   I think this engine is challenging enough to just get running let alone to that level of complexity.

I may build a non prototypical manifold plenum just to get the engine running and debuged ....then craft something a bit more realistic
