Are the bellmouths on Mr O’s carb picture the same as the parts picture above, just being pedantic they don’t look the same to me.

I don’t know some of you young ones must spend all day on google and Wikipedia

 

Don’t be cheeky. You’ve only got 3 years on me! Silver surfers rule!

I always called them bellmouths too......

 

........Although velocity stack appears to be the correct engineering term and many are bell shaped - but you mentioned Wikipedia, not me!

My brain hurts. Going for a lie down

 

Great link, thanks. Found this on their site:- LINKY

 

Wrong, 4 years difference young one.

Just to clarify I’m not a silver surfer, my hair is Artic Blonde

Back in the day the parts were sold and known as Bellmouths

 

I just rebuilt the carbs on my T120R yesterday as they had sat all over the winter and i must have left it with some shit fuel in it, runs real sweet now

 

A duel?

I choose Tickling Sticks.

 

And I still can't find Arctic Blonde on the Dulux chart. Roman White?

 

Tickling Sticks, no,no,no I’ve lost

 

Banjos

 

Eicky thump - Yorkshire’s forgotten martial art or possibly aide ????

 

Velocity stacks should have 3 holes on the bottom ring below the bell mouth

 

What you have there Mr O are bell mouths

 

Careful Gary - according to Wikipedia Ecky Thump was a Lancastrian martial art. You don't want to upset anyone do you??

...heads off to YouTube to watch the episode for the first time in yonks now you've got me hooked...

 

Oooh War of the Roses part deux

Do the aforementioned bellmouths have built in mesh filters to stop birds, trouser legs, small furry creatures, young children, mopeds and scooters et al from being sucked into the engine? Those fitted to my '69 Bonnie did and all around me were grateful, especially my mate Trevor whose CB750 just couldn't keep pace with it, although he was/still is a big lad who would probably have just got stuck in an open bellmouth!!
Anyway, I thought that velocity stacks were simply posh bellmouths for fuel injection systems.
I do like a nice carburettor though.

 

Been to visit @Callumity today, lovely wee bimble (front wheel in the air a couple of times) up the Beeftub, and returned on Wanlockhead road. If you haven't ridden these yet, do!

Pictures do not do it justice, come up lovely and even the wee priming buttons now move. Thanks to Callumity for his time.

Gasket kits ordered.
