My newest addition arrived today. Got a Hitachi 1 3/4 Carb matched to a 1500 MG intake to replace the current HS4 1 1/2 setup. Gonna dissemble and clean up some porting on the carb yet but should have it on and dialed in next week some time. Gotta say that Hitachi carb is gonna look great in there.

Anyone interested in my HS4 and Manifold let me know. Its a stock Carb completely Micro Polished, with new throttle shaft and valve. Looks and works like new, and the manifold was glass beaded too. PM me if your interested in the whole setup. Less than 25 hours on it. A true bolt on and tune.

I'm here, and yeah since that Mark guy apparantly couldn't find one in the barn - could you please PM me the info?

thanks
 
Scott:

That should work out well for you.

Is that a bolt-on or did you have to modify the studs (or carb)?

I have an S&S 2-1/16" ~Super G~ pumper carb on mine. I made an adapter plate and ported the manifold to match the carb size. Works well over 3500 rpm. Hopeless below that.

Have you seen ~THIS~ ?
 
yep, played with that page several times for info. Yes the manifold had to be re-drilled and tapped to accept only two of the four hitachi studs. But should hold up. I like the bracketry of the Hitachi, but the main reason for picking it is in its stock foprm it suppossedly flows 20% better than the HS6 SU plus the Overall length of the Body is 1/4" shorter than the HS6 and as you can tell from my pics every bit of space is needed!
 
Started prepping this carb a bit ahead of my own schedual. Ported the carb a bit, clean up the manifold. (Wasnt as perfect as I thought but definatally workable. But most of all got to quickly fab a nice heat sheild and return spring setup out of a piece of stainless one of my guys at work had.

Just a quick update - bought an HS4 carb this week - not Scott's but one from a guy from my club locally. Needs a bit of polish and adapted to fit but it didn't come any too soon as she won't start - again - ZS off for hopefully the very last time.
