[QUOTE="Kansas Bad Man, post: 50849, member: 778"] Back in the day , in the 60s the guys running fuel especially nitro were having trouble getting enough fuel to engine. The float bowls were not big enough to maintain a proper float level. The big inchers were burning 2 gallons of fuel in 8 to 9 seconds. S / S Hired a drag racer named Leo Pane to develop a carb that would do the job. Leo had already took the carb S/S had made to replace the Linkert used on early Harleys by adding a extra float bowl making two. The floats had been enlarged and the needle and seats were huge. The carb developed by Leo and made by s/s became famous and became one of S/S line of racing goodies for Harley Davidson. The S/S carb shown on Mals bike is new in design , easy to tune and works real well on Vincents. The answer to your question Bill is no. you are probably referring to the carbs I made for the Mag monster. Those carbs were off a p-500 two stroke 4 cylinder Navy fire fighting water pump. Lots of mods to make them work on 75 percent nitro, I recently gave those too John Hanson . As far as I know S/S never has relinquished ownership of the S/S carb. Cheers [/QUOTE]
