Amazing effort, building a set of ‘as new’ carbs out of a pile of leftovers, what great work.

Made a start on reassembling the carb bodies.

It was a bit fiddly getting the fast idle cam installed, trying not to loose the tiny spring and ball bearing that indexes the cam in the choke upen position.
I have hit one snag so far, one of the choke flap rods won't fit. I suspect that it was in a batch of plating where I dozed off and it was plated for over an hour. It will have to be stripped and redone.

A solution to the breather interconnector tubes. The old ones had to be sliced off with a scalpel.
I had some offcuts of viton tube in various sizes (skip find that I thought could come in handy one day) which is a bit soft compared to the originals. Then it came to me, use an outer sleeve of heat shrink to stiffen it up a bit.
