Need a manifold for Honda gc160 to 22mikuni carb!!!!! PLEASE HELP

If you know a welder that will weld up a steel plate? To the end of the likes of this perhaps? https://www.google.com/search?q=22m...nel=fe&client=browser-ubuntu&hl=en&gws_rd=ssl
I run that same engine and carb set up. I had to make my own intake manifold. Actually my friend Turkman made it. I don't know of any store bought alternative. Maybe AGK? But they mostly have parts for the GX engines.
Other than that, maybe contact member FFV8, really nice guy. I believe he was offering home made intake manifolds for the 79cc engines, maybe he could be persuaded to make one for the gc160.
Only other option I can think of if you don't have the fabricating skills is to get some white paper, hold it onto intake port and rub along all the edges, inside opening, bolt holes, outer shape. Then carefully cut out the shape to make a template. Do the same thing on the carb, take both templates to a welder and have him make the two flanges then weld them to a small elbow tube. Just make sure to orientate the flanges correctly to keep the carb level upon installation.
Hope that helped,
Gilbert

Have you tried the curved manifold yet? Using the billit aluminum intake cut it and half and use a radiator hose to get the angle your looking for. Cheapest way I know. I use the same set up. Not sure how you4 motor is mounted mine in vertical. But that set up will work in any position that you need it to.
That sounds cool. Is this billet intake made for the GX series or the GC series engines? Where do you get this billet intake?
I used the aluminum manifold for the harbor clone, cut in half... Added a very short piece of hose and off we go. Just make sure it seals well at the motor.
If you need more pictures let me know CCC
