Look Ma, No Hands!
Really appreciate the work you're putting into this thread! I just got another Whizzer and was myself very surprised to see that restrictor sleeve. I don't recall seeing in any of the other Whizzer engines I've had. Are you going to re-install yours? To all other Whizzer enthusiasts -- can we just eliminate the restrictor without having to make other alterations to the Tilottson ML5B?Ok here are some of my dimensions for the intake manifold. Intake port on manifold is .76" without the restrictor bushing. Restrictor bushing dimensions are .755" od by .575" i.d. by 1.7" long. The mounting flange is 1.325" long by 1.25" at the center of the intake port and it tapers down to .575" at the mounting studs and the studs are .25" and the threads are 1/4 28 fine threads and the studs stick out .575" with the gasket on the mounting flange. Dimensions from outside of stud to outside of stud is 1.875" and inside to inside is 1.4" and center to center is 1.65". These numbers may vary but this is what I got on my motor. The ml5b carb dimensions are intake opening .697" and air filter/choke opening .875". Bolt holes .265" and outside bolt hole to outside bolt hole 1.89". Inside of bolt hole to inside of bolt hole 1.335". Center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole 1.6". Mounting flange 2.37" long by 1.1" wide at center of intake port and it tapers down to .575" at the mounting holes.
