Today was a good day. I have reached the point where the engine runs and the wheels turn. I was actually able to take the car off its jacks and motor around the neighborhood.
However there is still much under the hood that needs fixing. The 2 areas that need to be addressed are the carbs linkage and the layout of the hoses.
The mounting of the carbs looks homebrewed to me. The cross bar between the 2 carbs is held in place by a weird spring arrangement [Photo 4]. The ‘ball’ pulls out of the ‘socket” connection Photos 3 & 4]. Also the heater hose has worn a weak spot where it rests against the rear carb [Photo 6],
Moreover, the heater hose [red] and the hose that runs from the oil filler to the air cleaner [black] press against the throttle linkage [Photo 5].
Looking for suggestions on correcting these issues.
What style carbs are these anyway?
