Randy, do the circlip installers work on most size clips?

 

[Mastermind]

Well Sir........

There is a tool for each size clip.

They are not cheap either.

I'm not real familiar with all the different sizes of clips but I'm guessing 10,12,13 mm? I've only ever used one of my digits and a pocket screwdriver. Would these clip installers work on other brands as well?

Great job Randy.

Clean bands.

I love the thinking outside the box (literally) Muff mod. I may follow suit on mine.

 

[drf256]

Are the cylinders all the same size and type?

Chambers look a bit different.

Yeah, they work with all brands. 10, 12, and 13.

Two 026, and a 260

Jon just checked compression on one of these. 210.....

My gauge might need a new Shrader valve.

You forgot the 8mm one....makes nice work in a 200T....oh snap.....they don't need too much port work

So I may be jumping the gun alittle on this thread, but what carbs do you prefer on these? I have a very nice metal tagged red levered 026 that I wanted to add a 038 or 044 carb with velocity stack. I would make a backing plate just like a 044/46/64 and 66 have already. Is it worth doing these mods or can you achieve the same results out of lets say a wt194?

It may jump a bit if tested at a lower elevation
