attempted to fit the carbs on the twinky engine in the moke.

Failing that, ran home crying.

Sweet fiddle sticks all, because the piece of crap won't be finished in time to make the muster because the twinky doesn't fit.

Teach me to try something different..

PS. Twinky is for sale.

That's a turbo twinky, no bike carbs to squeeze onto the front of it..

Had to take the ram tubes off, shorten the manifold, and it is still pushed hard up against it in places...
Now we need to try and run fuel lines - Ivan is tearing what little hair he has left out, and we have less than half a day to finish... sigh

What was the original colour of it ? Orange or yellow ? something else maybe?
Could be k-mac or selby brand , were there any other brands back in that era ?

I took the 850 out for a spin and checked if my speedo was accurate to the gps reading, was pretty good. Then got the van out for a bash around the paddock. GOOD TIMES! gotta get that van registered.
