TANK: I definitely see where the impression is for the spare tire on the '41 tank. That's about a gallon's worth, wouldn't you say?
So the dimensions LxWxH are probably the same. It would fit using the same straps. The neck could be an issue, which is why I'd like to talk to a buyer hogtie one from Mauricio for a 1940 (all but a 110).
One positive outcome from all this was correcting the 'new' (only 8 years) fuel level sending unit. I bent it downward slightly. Last night back from the game, I filled up and the needle read FULL all the way.
CARB: Ron at Daytona wrote to me on shipping the Stromberg back for warranty service. He didn't think that a hole in the float would starve the engine, but (as you probably guessed if the floats are down like in a horse trough ) it would be flooding gas over everything. He thinks it might be debris in a jet.
EDIT
Problem is, this carb has a history
https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5878&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=350 and I sent it to Daytona because of their reputation and to have them replace the fast idle spring (which they couldn't).
The engine is beautiful, the Carter carb is ugly, but it runs; and there is beauty in that.
