    Hi Ben,
    don't get me wrong: I love the Dynaflows just the way they are and I have the greatest respect for the engineers, who developed such a device without computer-aid just with pencils and...

    Thanks, I figured something like that. But then, one wonders, why they decelerated the slushy Dynaflow even more with a higher geared rear axle...

    Thanks anyway.

    Hi,

    well, being from Germany, I am not sure if the hole in the case that takes the shaft is correctly referred to as a "bearing", too. It is not an actual bearing, sure, but is serves as a bearing...

    Okay, understood.

    But that sounds as if you will not get this decently done without removing the shaft and re-boring the shaft-bearings in the air-horn anyway, do you ?

    Oh, one other thing:

    You might want to try them: http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/PartsCarter.htm

    Hi there,

    these carbs once and a while pop up on ebay. It is difficult to get single parts anywhere (especially at reasonable prices).
