Sorry forgot camera. Works like a charm!

Rather crude set-up using what I had at hand. Re-threaded oil injection hole in rotor housing to 1/8 NPT, put a 1/8 NPT/3/8" barb fitting in there. Short run of 3/8" fuel hose that clamps directly over the out letof the fuel injector. Input side of fuel injector continues into 3/8" hose and T's into the fuel line to the carbs.

Of course when I got out to the airport I found that the 10 ohm resistors I'd brought to limit the current through the fuel injector both were bad (open), so I used a lightbulb from the car as the series resistor during the 2 second fuel injector power-on.

I can't get over how well it cools with the two new radiators! Now I can start on drag reduction. First is putting on the cowlcheek extensions.

Although probably not of interest to anybody else on this list. Most are 
using fuel injection anyway.

Hi Finn,

I won't mind seeing what you end up with.  It sounds like I might have to consider something like that for cold starts.

Cheers,
Rusty
