All,
Thanks for all of the comments on my last post. It looks like at least 100+ kits will sell quickly, and that's not counting the big twin community. I have received a HD Carburetor kit from the Tillotson folks and a photo is attached for review and comment. The kit contains a diaphragm, diaphragm gasket, complete accelerator pump, main needle seat, needle and brass gasket and a manifold gasket. My input is I think that the manifold gasket can be eliminated. Should the thermal block o-rings be substituted? I am suggesting that they add the parts in the second photo, specifically the throttle and choke shaft dust seals, main jet gasket and the intermediate needle o-ring. Feel free to add comments or more parts that you think may be needed. Once I get them I will consolidate and pass to the Tilloston folks. We haven't discussed reproducing the white plastic diaphragm cover, but may in the future depending on cost and demand. The remaining task is pricing and distribution methodology. I will keep all posted.
Dave C
