Sorry for the neck breaking photos. I have been asked about this engine lately and thought I would share since I had it apart putting Chris Carson reeds in it. Thank you Chris. I've been blessed for even owning this motor no sense in keeping it top secret. Hope you enjoy

Awesome, thanks for posting Freddy, i don't think anyone has ever posted pics of the cylinders on one. Dave

8 two barrels!? Wow that baby probably sings!

**Freddie Webb** · 10-30-2015, 12:56 PM

Thanks! And yep it does alright for a white motor. Not as good as one of Dave Bush's v6 motors but still ok.

Can you show the intake side of the cylinders?

**Freddie Webb** · 10-30-2015, 04:36 PM

Yep when I go back to the shop.

**Freddie Webb** · 10-30-2015, 04:39 PM

I am guessing that you mean intake ports in the cylinder?

**Instigator** · 10-30-2015, 04:41 PM

As far as I know, my buddy Jimmy Carter still has his, identical to that one, on his Pro Comp.

Crossflow carbs on a looper?

**StratosVT** · 10-30-2015, 10:25 PM

LOVE IT! Now I want to hear it run.

Carbs were specific for that engine. Float bowls were different and depending on generation different main body casting. They do use crossflow rod bearings. Also had 2 different exhaust style on the carb version. Tim these are a conventional finger port design intake.

Fred I have 6 new carb style rods if you need any.

Domed Pistons and bridged exhaust. I didn't see that coming. Similar dome to an Etec piston except it's tiny.

Crossflow ow starter works good on Yamaha ignition also and its lighter

I flipped the pictures, thank you for posting!

Thanks racer for the letting me know, it's always good to know where these limited parts are. Thanks Kevin for straightening the pictures. The carbs are very similar to the crossflow 235. The starter is also crossflow, but it has a solenoid that holds the starter engaged so it can't kick out until you let go of the key.
