Sounds great, James!

Here's mine. It was tight, but fired right up.

James, is that one of those new Zenith carbs? The filter setup looks very neat.

I like the looks of the filter. Can you tell us more? Also like the idea that the engine is owned by a fellow Luscombe pilot............ Gar Williams

Ken, I acquired the clear distributor cap when I purchased my Roadster. I heard they were produced some time ago, but not manufactured any longer?

I carry it as a spare for the times I want to see what's going on inside the distributor.

Perhaps, place a "wanted ad" here in the swap meet section, or search EBay.

Good luck.

I don't know Jim, this engine belongs to danschmiedt who posts here from time to time. You can ask him. Looking at the video again, it looks like a Tillotson
