The answer is possibly, the 1.0L is also a sidedraft and it doesnt look that different but definatly not just a simple bolt on. I'll give more of a detailed explanation tomorrow.

Oh yeah get rid of the caps, thats real fkn annoying, considered the typing version of YELLING!

Sorry again for the lack of intro and the improper use of my cap locks but i thank you for correcting me. No luck at finding a carb around are little town here but do you think one off a 1300 cc harley would work if i made a adapter plate?

[TheSarg]

not sure about that, motorcycle carbs tend to run lean, might not be a good idea, i'd rebuild the carb u have.

So if he uses a 1300cc carb from a a bike on an ( don't quote me as i may be off a couple cc's here) 800cc motor and, you say the motorcycles run lean it should run a little rich since the jets are for a motor thats 500cc's bigger?

Just a thought. Question is how lean, i figure it would run rich bieng 500cc's difference between the two motors?

A harley carb? If it's a Mikuni, sure.

The carb we have is missing pieces. The previous owner took it apart and miss placed them. Can't find any parts. Its missing the top of the float bowl and what ever is inside.
