Good Morning,
I have a question that I hope is not too ridiculous. This is a picture of the bottom of the carburetor off my 1801. I would like to know if these two corrugated pieces are part of the original carb or some after market devices to perhaps improve gas mileage. Thanks, Rich I hope I've attached the pictures properly./Users/richard/Desktop/100_2583.JPG/Users/richard/Desktop/100_2582.JPG

hello plugs1.
There is no ridiculous questions. I have an 1801 also, but I definitely am not an expert. I have had my EE 16 restored and the only other items I am aware of are spacers between the carb and the manifold. Their purpose will probably be discussed by others more knowing than me.

Hopefully I will be able to attach some photos later. I was not able to view your pictures.

For thermal insulation.

Thanks for the replys. I think that they are an aftermarket item. I'm not having any results getting the pictures on with my post.

definitely some sort of an aftermarket item from Oil of Snake, Inc....really cool though, I'd be curious to know what the scheme was, turbo jet fire carburetor thrusters or ...

Thanks for your input. I think before I reinstall the carb I'll remove them.

Hello Plugs

Hopefully I attached photos of my EE16 and the spacers.
