I have to agree . The crank 'center' bore seems to be a bottleneck , compared to the carb intake port and the cylinder transfer ports . Although , the Tillotson MT carb venturi might be a closer match . I don't know what the throat of the Carpenter carb measures .

Carb venturi is 5/8".

Polishing the cover and air cleaner now, but my regular job keeps getting in the way.
Maybe Jan. I can get back on it.

we've used Glyptol paint our race engines for many years. As long as surface was clean never had a problem. Had a hard time trying to get it off even with continued boiling. Great stuff!
