372 Carb swap on 2159

[ZukiRyder400]

Welp, I may have found a way to swap a HDA-199 to a Zama C3M or Walbro HD-12 on a 357/359 without drilling a hole in the cases for the pulse nipple OR swapping throttle/ choke shafts.

I know, its on a 346 but there basically the same design. I used an OE 372 carb mount so I didn't have to modify the original one. Fortunately, the pulse hose was long enough to reach from the carb to the intake

I know, toight fit on a 346 but I figured since everything fits somewhat good, It could be viable on my 2159.

Just gotta get a new throttle rod. Kinda broke it when i was doing the final bends... luckily my dad and i might go down to our hooskie dealer junk pile and geab more parts cause theres like a bagillion 357 359 builders down there.

Still experimenting

It screamed but I never got the chance to put it in some wood because the throttle rod broke

My thoughts exactly

Love those red ones [emoji16]

Keep us updated if you get her running. Might start modding a red one this winter (2156)

Yeah will do. I have to make an all new throttle rod when I continue to work on this.

@Benwa and I dig those saws. I wouldn’t mind having a parts saw for my 2159. Maybe even get one to try a ported 359/2159 cyl vs. the 357 I have on mine.

I have made custom throttle rods with some welding rod… still working I believe

I had to make one for that 2159. Turned out perfect. I just haven't had much time to tinker with saws lately. Football takes up like 85% of my time right now. Ill get to these projects a little later. Please excuse muh slackin lol

Brandy new filter holder. Had to file the sides of it to clear the choke butterfly. Best of what I could think of by just using the stock holder setup
