I would like to see a scale reference maybe the guy standing by it or some model or something. 5.6 cubic inches... .09 liter engine that is probably small?

hey stu


you can see the size of it when the guy standing near it in the clip. if i remember correctly.. maybe its olny his arms as he lets more air in the carb.

if the above link doesnt work.. goto the Website (http://www.weberprecision.com/) and get to the clip that way. sometimes direct links may not work properly.
