I would check with Aaron Burnham at Rennworks. He goes by Burn-bros here on Pelican

Wiring elimination
 

It is amazing how much information this forum has accumulated over the years. There is nothing that was not covered at least a few times , by different Pelicans.

I learned in 2 days of searching that a few wires on the engine harness can be eliminated ( folded over and taped in ).

Distributor mailed to Aaron at Rennwerks today.

I got this thermostat with the engine , is it time specific and correct ?

Test panel
 

I plan to run the engine on a test stand to look for oil leaks , set the timing , and make sure the Zeniths are set up correctly. Will also do oil changes every 5-10 min.

The Zeniths are a whole story on their own.

The Scotts invented golf to frustrate people all over the world. Prof Ferdi used Zeniths.

Oil tank
 

Oil tank cleaned by radiator shop , rinsed with Seafoam and petrol , and then with alcohol. Cleaner on the inside than outside - needs a coat of paint.

Oil tank got a new coat.

I am sure the real stats are available , but my guess is that 95% of the readers of the Pelican forums are people like me. Always wanted to do this , but never had the opportunity or time. Or people that will get involved in a build one day.

Starting my build , I realized that it will not be easy , cost more that my worst case scenario , and be a positive learning experience.

This is a journey , not a destination - thanks Steve Tyler.

Most builds are done by amateurs in their free time. Many of those free hours used to drink a few cold ones just looking at the slow progress.

I am one of them , and love it.

Great job. Can't wait to see it run on your test stand!

At my pace hope to have the engine running on the stand before the end of the Mayan calender.

Do I have Zenith and Weber parts mixed up here ?

Weber and Zenith carbs use the same linkage. Looks like you have the right parts.. Hard to tell from the pictures what the problem is.

Errie

Here are some pics of a Zenith setup in your area of concern. There is a very tight fit fit between the drop link and the accelerator pump linkage.

Hope this helps.

VERY Cool - nice work :)

Comparing your pic to Tom's, it looks like this piece is on backward, but maybe it's just he camera angles.
