I got that little v-stack adapter (to the elbow) and Uni filter on mine, super easy setup, no modding needed.

That's what I've got, couple of factory filters and a non modded plastic too. I'd like to run the factory setup but apparently it's a little more involved than bolting it on. Grease or soft cushy gasket or something.

Yeh, that's the elbow where the original filter bolted on. Elbow onto the carb body and V stack onto that and filter onto the V stack. Had me thinking you had something novel that I needed to have.

lol , you got it

what do you guys use to replace the old oil lines on these bad boys. I can find the one line coming from the tank with the bulge fitting but what about the other line?

I've been lucking out with getting them off donors. May have an extra for you.

I was thinking I could use some similar fuel or oil line and just cut it to fit. The one I tried yesterday still leaked. Might need some new clamps.

Anyone know without a lot of searching what the real differences between 298 and 2100 were?

Ok, so I tried to heat up and bend the 2100 throttle rod today to make it work with the 394xp carb. It never fit great and when I thought I had it it would bind when pulling on the throttle. Ended up with a fairly straight rod and still no dice. Any suggestions? Good thing is I bought 20 on sale so I have 19 more tries

Why the 394 carb as opposed to a stock one?

 

[Jusgunn3]

Was going to try the 394xp carb to see if I could get a little more out of a ported version. I also kinda ruined my 2100cd card so I will need another if I do not use the 394xp carb.

Maybe figure it out with brazing rod then match it up. That stuff bends, unbends, and bends again pretty well, but holds a bend too. There's a word for that probably. The type I've got does anyway.
Got a 2100 carb selection you can pick from if it comes to that.

I have used bicycle spokes for throttle rods, after bending it, temper it with heat and then oil bath...worked out great for an 075 with a NLA throttle rod (the long one, not the short one).

Never considered doing that. Should work well and there are different gauge spokes to choose from. Brazing rod is a little on the thick side.

I just tig weld in an extension into the OEM rod.
