I was wondering if anyone was going to catch that...I figured Andy would have chimed in with a "WHAT".

The sprocket in the first photos was cut on an abrasive water-jet machine, and it did not come out right...the chain didn't even fit it.

If you look at the latter pictures you'll see that the sprocket that was actually used is dished. I made this one on the CNC and it worked perfectly.

More to come,

OK for me the intake is part #1 in your 'modular' upgrqade kit. I hate the current stock intake and I have notice that my second kit has thinner tubing for the intake. The alignment is also terrible.

If you start making these intakes I am in on one for sure. I already have your actuator kit and it is a thing of beauty!

Thanks jvirginillo,

Glad you liked your clutch kit!

If you can set your engine level in the frame, you can use my straight intake. It includes the o-ring for the carb and an o-ring at the mating surface between the cylinder and intake. They are $12.00ea.

Jim is the level engine requirement due to keeping the carb level? I plan on doing another build at some point and already have another engine. I am however extremely intersted in the work you are planning to do on other engine parts. I'll be patient I think and keep progress on what you are up to. Just in case you are gauging interest. I have enough interest to set raise $$ over the coming year towards further purchases. thanks as always for the quick response and updates.

I am tempted to order an intake just because. You know what the heck Jim. PM me at jvirginillo@hotmail.com

alright jim, you slipped this past me somehow and I would like info on this intake! as Iam already a fan of your products (clutch actuator). Iam looking for a shorter intake but with enough height to clear the actuator cable. what do ya got?

Hey file,

It was on page 4 of this thread...here's the pic. I had to make a longer clutch arm with a bend. It actually worked better. The lever pull was even easier!

Page 3 post #24 of this thread shows the intake. The o-ring is fitted in an external groove. The o-ring lands in the bottom area of the carb, below where the slots end. This provides a positive seal.
