Technical Building a new Winfield...

So when did your relatives stop using Ferrous and went to Pharis?

 

... on his day off

 

Wow!

 

Getting closer...



I hope to have one of these throttle barrels finished and able to run by the end of the weekend...

 

Almost there...

 

Can almost hear it runnin!

 

Running good! Will finish the linkage and do some road testing later this weekend...

 

Congratulations, that’s when you know that you did a good job

 

Heck yeah! Really nice work

 

Congratulations! There are times when I cannot believe what I see on this board.

This is one of them.

 

This was the best Christmas present ever!!!!

It took a few tries to get the cold motor warmed up and idling, then a few more tries to ensure that I was idling on the idle circuit. Then after a bit of intermediate circuit adjustment, the motor was responsive and smooth. The spray bars were distributing fuel across their full length, and the accelerator wells were obviously dumping fuel as designed.

I am one happy grinch!!

 

Looking back at some ol pics tonite... looks like it was about 3 years ago that I started trying to piece together a pair of Winfield S-B downdraft carbs... and bout a year and a half since I realized that I would need to go “all in” to get exactly what I wanted.

 

Superb work there.

 

It's great to see all your excellent work came to fruition. Congratulations.

 

Congrats! Great accomplishment!

 

Kevin;
That rocks. Very nice job.
Marcus...

 

The way I understand the manufacturing of the parts you had to build a CAD file of each part & do an assembly of those files to ensure each piece fit-right?

 

Oooooooh yeah.... many many hours of design, and countless fit checks prior to starting any machine work

 

You really did a fantastic job

 

Amen to that.

 

A few laps around the block and a few adjustments to the high speed needle, and the Fronty T is runnin just fine!

Now it’s time to make the flow bench adapter and get some real data...

 

Flow bench adapter... DUN!!!

 

Kevin you are at a level of excellence that very very few men can obtain!

 

Machinists are incredible...this is a big salute to your incredible training coupled with your mechanical sense...genius

I know how happy you are with the achievements made here...we share in that enthusiasm...its almost as if you were back in the Winfield design room pumping out prototypes...

It certainly gives one an appreciation for the knowledge that was involved in creating these limit pushers of the Yesteryear...Congratulations @Kevin Pharis

 

153 cfm!!!

Bout the same size as a Stromberg 97

 

That’s quite a bit. Congratulations

 

In all honesty... I was expecting bout 100 cfm. Now I’m beginning to wonder if my T can handle 2 of em...?! Oh well, I can always keep em from opening all the way

 

nice
Did you flow it at 3 in. hg. depression?

 

Sure did! Well I didn’t... Bob at CC did
