No need for a throttle cable John he already took care of that with his 6 foot long scooter cable he found in the corner of the garage and i am sure he will figure a way to modify/botch the cable end so it holds in the new bracket.

If you didn't want it or aren't sure it'll work, why did you post asking for one?  Believe me, I wrestled with my conscience before I offered it to you.  The classic conflict - I have one, someone says they 'need' one.  What to do...  Given it was you made it even more interesting - an opportunity for you to either sh*t or get off the pot.  You didn't even do your homework...

Of course it won't come with the abutment plate, I cut it up and made a 3mm spacer with it.  I've bought 2 HIF38's brand spankin' new from Berlen and never expected them to send an abutment plate - they sold me carburettors.  If I needed an abutment plate, I'd ask them to sell me an abutment plate.  If I needed an intake manifold, I'd need to buy an intake manifold.  To keep it simple, did you want me to send my spare engine with the carb just so you have the correct intake & exhaust manifolds, the right spacer, the correct gaskets and the correct abutment plate?  That won't happen...  Oh, and the throttle cable, should you decide to do it right, will be part number SSB10126. 

This next quoted post is the probable deal breaker for me, I'm likely done.  Tony, I tried to help you, but you're beyond help.  As far as I'm concerned, you can keep your narrow-minded wants and needs to yourself. 

Noviceparlor doesn't have to defend anything she said.  What, you don't like women Marines?  Don't like women who know tools and have technical skills?  Assuming that Noviceparlor is indeed female, and I've no reason to doubt her, I think her husband is a lucky guy.  Hyacinth isn't a pansy either; she knows what the tools are, can diagnose, troubleshoot and pretty much knows what I'm talking about, yet chooses not to enter the garage, let alone turn a wrench.  She did make spelt biscuits (I made them last week) this morning and helped me dig an extention to the flowerbed, doubling it's size, at the estate today.  I'm making raspberry muffins tomorrow morning with the raspberries that I picked today.

I hate to break it to you, dude, but I've known women mechanics who can put most men to shame and I've served with women soldiers who were not only tactically and technically exceptional, but exhibited far more discipline than their male counterparts - myself included.  Some could also 'out PT' the guys too.  Tough as nails, disciplined and fit - I found that to be an alluring coctail - in a purely professional manner, of course...

I offered an HIF38 carb to you, you'd send the sumpguard to armycook.  If you want it, you'll have cut the crap, make a decision and E-mail me pronto with your address and E-mail armycook the tracking number/weight for the sumpguard pictured earlier in this thread that you're sending to him.  I'll then send it to you.  There are images of it posted earlier in this thread, take it or leave it.

Dude got questionable character and by no means credible. Lets not waste our time.

Armycook, I sent you an email last night but no replies yet. Want to know if ur interested in a bigger project for our mark 1 roof. 

No i am not giving away a $150 plus carb just the bracket with an email address. When can i expect that ???

1 3/4 is not a 38mm it is a 44mm carb.

They are not equally as good although they both serve the same purpose.

And again i have said this many times here you need to have the rest of the car in order before you mess with the carb (now i sound like Cup Cake).

hmm wait a minute, our host is selling a rebuilt HIF38 and a rebuilt HS4 with SAME price, this proves that BOTH carbs are equally good.

the thing tho is that i have a brand new rebuilt kit in my drawer(still in a plastic) for the HS4, bought few months ago. , what if i rebuild my HS4 first???? hmmmm?  me think, think, think!!!

but jizz,where is jeg?? will he be out for a week? hope he flies to the US so i can meet him in person.

the only two issues tho are the  throttle linkage(bigger and going to hit the manifold)  and the the mount studs/ holes might not be matched.

but you guys know these things, i don't. 

i can probably use the HS4 throttle linkage to fit the HIF38, that way it'll be shorter., and i will be using my existing air filter so i don't need to bang the firewall.

i dunno if i am getting a "better" carburetor(HIF38) over my existing HS4 , since jeremy thorpe and other members are highly recommending this kind of carb for a 998,it must be good. jeremy said this single engine three quarter HIF( i supposed he meant 38) is good for traffic light to traffic light daily driving, and the Weber Decoe is good for Autocrossing.

lets  see some pics sir Alex...

How many cars would you like me post pictures of with an HIF38 or 44 retro fitted to a 998 ?
I have two on the drive and probably got photos of another one in bits <-- these aer just my cars, I've done the conversion for several other people.

Never had a problem using standard manifolds, though sometimes it pays to relieve the bulkhead if it is a particularly tight one like an all-in-one Metro cast iron manifold.

Whats your e-mail Boison? I'll send you my address and phone number.

lol, nah i just wanna make sure that it will work on mine because i dont want to unleash a 38 year old solid sump guard for a non fitting carb, but i know the carb is in tip top shape no doubt bout it. 

thanks for the info Army, now i have a clearer picture of the set up

mal , does that Cam bracket of yours comes with an hif38 carb? do you have an extra?in case this deal gets dissolved? 

Now his excuse will be he does not want it as it may bend the jet LOL.

My HIF38 didnt fit perfectly in my 998. Had to replace my manifold into the manifold with minispares sign on top (which i heard eats space) also the dogbone into an adjustable support and tilt the engine forward by very few millimeters. Wasnt easy cause it wouldnt move a lot and remote shifter would hit the tunnel. Sad to say I had to pinch the firewall a little just to clear from engine vibes.

On top of the bracket, you will need the carb spacer so your carb wont get hot and to clear the throttle linkage to not hit the manifold. You should make some measurements now how much gap you got from that manifold to the edge of the firewall (given that manifold will fit the 1.5" opening and match the mount studs) 

I got an email from the place where Im going to have the #67 plate printed and they wanted a lot of money just for one plate so Im still looking for a much cheaper place.. maybe downtown Los Angeles to avoid middleman companies.

now this thread is at least mildly entertaining.

but wait let me ask, what is the edge or advantage of HIF38 over HS4?(the one where the gas bath is separated from the jet)?

i might be replacing my HS4 with same carb and condition,it doesnt make sense..u know what i mean? id like to know the plus factor of the HIF38 i you dont mind guys

Like i said send him an email i am sure he will reply to you. FWIW i have seen the old HS4 plate used on the HIF 38's with minor mods (no scooter parts) not the way i would do it but can be done with moderate skills, oh just forget what i typed i forgot who i was dealing with. In fact i have one here free to you for shipping costs, send me an email. Now what's your excuse ?????

guys, you all know that i am a good fabricator, i can fabricate any metal works with my 90amps HF welder,that CAM thing is an easy one no sweat. but of course we will see if jeg is nice enough to include that piece of CAM.

the only thing i cant fabricate are stories...im not good at it.   (yes, honestly)

Oh yes this will be just another excuse from him.

If he can install a fan backwards and make it work I'm sure he can muck this one up too (and claim it works). Sorry to disappoint you Mr. Boison but this will be a big boy project for you and too bad the carb doesn't come with a mechanic.

Yes, but what if the picture he found on the interweb thingy* is a manifold for a 1-1/4" HS2 ?

*Can't be the picture of "his" manifold as he claims to be out driving....

Believe what you want, but generally a carb is a carb and doesn't come with the abutment plate.
I've used the same plate on two cars with three different carbs over the years.

My guess is that this will now be a deal breaker.

i believe it should come with the CAM thing because if he sends  the carb and leave the CAM behind what will he do with it??  turn in to a pedestal? it comes in as a set supposedly.
