This is cool. Would love to see a properly shaped venturi that even better atomizes the fuel.

Their also cool acrylic cylinderhead video:

Reminds me of my first introduction to Bahston accents on a TV show about 50 years ago. “Yo cah has a cahburetah….”

In 7th grade I changed school systems and ended up about a year younger than my classmates. To make matters worse, I was seated next to the biggest thug in the school ( a guy now in jail for murder). I was tormented endlessly until one day I came to school with a book I had started to read, “Small Boat Engines”. Turns out my tormenter, Norm, loved cars and wanted to know how engines worked. So over a period of a few weeks each day would teach Norm what I had learned from the book. It changed how Norm treated me and, at the time, felt like it saved my life. Thank god for 4 cycle engines.

Unfortunately we get paid peanuts compared to Electricians and plumbers, especially for what we need to know to be proficient. Always said it would make a great hobby but I choose the wrong trade.

I’ve been an electrician for 35 years.
I made better money bar tending. ( Did that for 37 years, yeesh. )
But that lifestyle damn near killed me. Though it’s how I met my two ex wives 😬

I'm not handy, in fact my house has a sign when you first come in that says:

"Bob Vila doesn't live here"
