The weather says Thursday is going to be a good day for a ride 80 degrees and I'm ready

Product called Plastifix.

Thanks guys I was happy to hear it run!! This is a 1300 out of an 87 Venture with a set of Vmax heads, Intake manifold is by VTC Motors in Lithuania and the Carb is a VW Pict 34-3, Carb was purchased off amazon for about $120 Cdn. The bonus with this it has a fuel cutoff solenoid when the Ignition is Off as well as an electric Choke, the Carb is easy to adjust and there are many Jet sizes to fine tune this for the bike. When I first ran the engine I knew right away the timing was out as it was backfiring bad and actually dislodged the Intake manifold, I found out these manifolds are built out of Schedule 80 Copper Elbows but they did not provision any Grooves, similar to the carburetor throats to help lock it into the intake boots, so after I corrected the timing I went to work on Fixing the Manifold design. Because I work in the HVAC industry I have access to Silfoss Brazing rods for Welding Copper so I built up a ridge at the bottom of each Runner that now locks into the Intake Boot below the Ridge that goes into the Carbs Groove, it also makes a better seal once the clamps are tightened down so I should Not have any issues with this manifold slipping out of the Boots.

Hi Again Everyone Work has been too busy and I haven't had much time to work on the project, I did manage to get the forward controls Mounted by Making a removable Bracket that bolts up to the Existing Engine Guard mounting points. Still need to complete the Floor board mounts which will also be attached to this Bracket assembly. Some of you may recall I built an engine stand adapter for the V4 engines it should be in the archives this bracket is strong enough that I was able to test fire the engine and found my timing was out, I found a good Vmax1200 Video from Morley Muscle showing the correct Timing sequence, pulled the valve covers and corrected the timing and it now runs strong, I have attached a quick video of it running with the Single Pict 34 Carb.
