Yeah that would work ---BUT when the ectocoating on the thermal support reaches critical mass, what will happen to the Chernobyl valve?? Did I get that right Shortbread???

I don't get the "sucking on both sides" thing, but anytime you put an open spacer on the hole gets bigger and the thicker the spacer the bigger the hole(going into tunnelram effect)and needs more fuel to cover the hole when you stand on it don't matter what carb you have, but spacer or not don't have anything to do with starting, if it won't start or run without the choke, there's something else going on....

Disclaimer: I don't get the post so what I just said probably didn't mean ****, lol..

If this was the case there would be vehicles stopped on the side of the road at every hill you come to, lol, but lean it over far enough(like ready to roll over or something, lol)don't matter what carb you have it's bound to uncover the jets, it's the gravity thing, lol..

ROLMFAO...

****, that's a no brainer there, just make a flexible bellows type spacer, make a pulley arrangement front and back, side to side and just run strings through the firewall to a bracket on the steering column for easy reach, anytime you come to any type of incline just pull a string to level the carb, done deal... FORGET IT, I already applied for the patent... :happy175:

I know several off roaders that use a quadrabog mounted backwards and using a looooong throttle cable that loops around the front of the engine

It becomes a quadrabog if you flip it backwards and install it on a 71 Ford Bronco ....
