Re: Seagull picture wanted for book illustration

Re: stripped down FP pics

Its generally considered bad practice to post the same request on two boards on the same forum.....you did it on General and help ...the problem then becomes that we have to go to both posts to keep up with what is happening ...On most sites the moderator removes the post from the least appropriate ...

Re: Will century carb fit AD

well you are right it will not fit though an adaptor would be easy to make and not reduce the throat diameter .
