Whats wrong here, Engine question

[Donovan D]

Cool stuff, thanks for the replies.
Will blank off the coil side airfilter and run the one breather.
Will also change the tpiece for the fuel to run in at 90 degrees.
Shortest route for the vacuum is probably around the front, will also get the rubber plugs.

Thanks for all the help guys!

So nothing major wrong that I can see... and I am very familiar with the SP setup. have you made sure the Jets in the carbs are correct?

... Grandslam redid the carbs , so pretty sure the carbs are ready to rock and roll

there is nothing wrong with the fuel line, dont worry about it.
Your vac line is too long, you want it as short as possible.
As others have pointed out, the plugs need covers to stop air leaking out.
Anything behind your fan that isnt tied down will get sucked into the fan and mangled. Dont underestimate the ability of the fan to do this...
Also the hose which connects the two manifolds, make sure this doesnt collapse under a vacuum
dont forget to spend time synching the carbs properly

And anything that gets sucked into the fan will restrict air flow and lead to overheating. I burned No3 piston on a new engine after it sucked a heater hose into the fan. A friend of mine did the same thing, also to a new engine, when a shop rag was sucked into the fan after being left in the engine compartment by the engine installer.

Same goes for the tar board on beetles, it can get sucked up aginst the fan housing restricting flow, make sure it's secure before fitting the motor.

Motor was fitted this past weekend, corrected all the issues raised. Will take some photos this coming weekend.
I did tie everything down, ran the vacuum the shortest route but still seems a bit long.
