G1 Carb at too steep and angle?

1989Marathon · 03-08-2014, 09:37 AM

IIRC, the G1 has a rubber carb joint that the carb goes into and is held in with a clamp. You won't easily find a replacement that has an angle. If you have room, you could add an angled piece between the joint and the carb.

Yeah, I tried to find one. Good luck making that work. That's why I suggested making a new adapter plate like you made on yours, except with a little angle built in. If you used a 3/4" plate, put it on the belt sander and create some angle that way. Say 1/4" on one side, 3/4" on the other?

Kinda like this, but made to the specs of the carb mount area. Then mount your carb to that.

Well, I've had ups and downs with this cart.

One day I go out and try to start it so that I can go for a ride. Crank and Crank and it never hit.

A few days later I go out and while in the garage I think, wonder if it will even hit. So without any choke I push the pedal and the darn thing fired right up and about backed over a shop cart I had setting behind it.

May have just flooded it the other day, but I don't know.

I'm going to keep riding this one while I pull the swing arm and rear from my parts cart. I'll then pull the engine off it and make my mounts to set my 8hp Briggs on it. I'm also going to drop the swing arm/ motor mount when I install it in the cart.

Slonomo, I can probably make an angled adapter for the carb using your process with my mill but not sure how well it would seal with the, then angled bolts. I'll have too look at this more.

I plan on riding this cart for a while if I can keep it running.

you'll still need to use gaskets, just use the "cereal box" trick

I knew I'd need gaskets still.

I usually go the bear box route myself.
