The Nitrophyl floats are easy to notch.As I heard the Nitophyl material is impervious to gasoline.Then why the epoxy? Is the surface finish that came on the floats originally a barrier or is it the actual material it's self ? If the material is prone to saturation by octane boosters then a paint on coating sounds like a fix.Know of any?
The vant baffles that I ordered from Jeg's (26-40) were the longer 2" ones were a little short for my regular bowls I have.Trimming their length being too long was not an issue .The shorter baffles/whistles are # 26-89 and are 1 7/16" long . They angle down after leaving the rectangular socket .I tried the upward position and there is severe interferance with the top of the bowl even before full engagement. The slot in the top of the float needs to be deeper oposite the hinge and rear . As if the float would reach the roof of the bowl and never tooch the baffel .
The new Avenger carbs have a metal vent tube that connects the bowls and is vented with holes drilled in the top as it jogs side ways to miss the aircleaner studd and low enough to fit under the aircleaner.. I have the cast vents that are tapered and the primary taller than the secondary.
