i think i may have stumbled upon the sophisticated grandpappy of the "happy time" carby.
this is uncannily close...off a 1978 honda express. matter of fact, it's so close i'm betting it'll work. carb w/choke, throttle w/choke, brake lever, killswitch, brakelight. what a tweak this is gonna be if i can pull it off.
like the "happy time" it has a mechanical idle-screw. it has a choke that (i think) affects only idle, an idle-mixture screw, & i'm
guessing it has mixture slots on the needle, too, because i can see the circlip. if i'm figuring this right, the express needed a LOT of rpm's to do 30mph, so i bet flow is already adequate, i'm not adverse to punching out the jet tho as last resort.
now that the chain tensioner is working right, i need something to do in the morning, so i'll tear it down and have a look.
at the very least i'll have a neat throttle assembly 8)
any info would be groovy
