I appreciate that, but I have a period repair manual coming in the mail and it should have the information. If you had happened to know the model code off the top of your head I could get some carburetor reasearch in the meantime, but no need to go though too much trouble over it. > Here's whhat I know from memory: the early 3-carb setups had a different type > of linkage than the later ones (bullnose vs. longnose engines).

There's not a lot of technical information online regarding the 2-stroke cars - not that I've been able to find, anyway. The fellow at www.nospam has reprinted a rally catalog from the early 70's. You might drop him a line about it to see if he's had any problems because of it.
