I just finished running in the 2.0 911 motor I built. Very exciting for me. I had a couple of problems with the carbs before I could get it to fire (the accelerator pump covers were warped and leaking). But once I got the timing close, it fired right up and ran great for 20 minutes. Now it's time for an oil change.

Thanks for listening, I had to share with someone. I'm excited and there's no one here to share it.

oh dude... you rock. a filter BEFORE each carb.

Posted by: McMark Mar 25 2006, 11:22 PM

The internal filter screens are no longer available and the ones on these carbs were TOAST. So, everyone I talked to suggested inline filters.

Here's a little cell phone recording...

I feel a little differently about a motor that I assembled. Your motor was a known runner. It's just the way I be.

Gotta catch me at the right place and the right time to get me excited.

Small bore sixes just have that....sound.....

Firing up a "I builded meself" 9eleben motor will definitely get the sweat rollin' down the crack of your ass.

Posted by: bd1308 Mar 26 2006, 08:44 AM

makes me really really really wanna find a junker 911 to pull a /6 out of.

How long does a /6 last per rebuild?
