113 129 701
Heat risers are clean and clear (at great expense of time and effort) however I found a different one I intend to use.
Original patina on it, straight, flanges are all good. One small hole on the heat riser that had a screw in it, was going to weld it up before using and still can. Be forewarned though, I'm a better grinder than I am a welder and a screw might look better :)'
$100

Just noticed a dent in one of the runners while hanging this back up.
Not going to affect flow, but it's not perfect.
Price change $50.00

How did you clear it? I have a plugged one and it's not cooperating.

Ridiculous amounts of time, alternating heat and solvent, and a total of three old clutch cables chucked up in a drill, fed in to it. The clutch arm end will go in the chuck, and with a bit of assistance from bolt cutters the pedal end will too...
Wear heavy gloves, the cable bits are sharp and the friction heats it up quite hot to hold.
If I had to do it again (and I did on the other one) I would start with heat and the cable and I'd skip the solvent. Penetrating oil did not seem to help either, but holding it vertical and ringing the flanges with a hammer every once in awhile helped to clear the accumulated debris. You'll be shocked how much carbon and rust will come out of that little tube.
Plan on about 10 hours each, if you have a dual port I think you can still buy them new, it would be a steal at any reasonable price if you value your time.

Anyone needs 40hp stuff (heads/p+c/intake etc) let me know willing to accept reasonable offers on the spares I don't need... whatever works to get your 1200 on the road.
