Feeler post here… Would sell for sure - this isn’t an “I know what I’ve got” post, frankly - I don’t. That’s why I’m asking.
32k mile lower end, fresh (summertime Sunday driver) top end with less than 2000 miles, 90mm Bore x 66mm Stroke , 215mm 4 spring Sachs clutch, Weber 32/36 Progressive carb. Built by mshantz if that means anything- eBay purchased/swapped a dozen years ago- well maintained.  |

If the engine is still in the car, do you have any video of start up and running?

QUOTE I know Mike Schantz and he is meticulous at engine building. Carb is probably the running problem Awesome- send my regards! He’ll get a laugh out of the presence of this carb I’m sure. 100% the problem. I paid him $2300 if I recall, maybe 13 years ago. I swapped this in for orig 1.7- changed the oil thrice, it’s been great even with this carb. The plan was to rebuilt the original case and I’m happy to say I’m finally getting around to it.  |

For all the bad press we hear about single carbs, I bought a 1975 1.8 example (original Cali car) with a single center mounted carb. Have since rebuilt the engine and added twin Webers. Always started well (choke worked good), but she ran out of breath over 3-4k rpms.
