Changing air horns?

(1/1)

oktorque:
I have a 17059547 with Cliffs kit and following his recipe #1.  It has the POE extra tubes.  Rather than having to disassemble and change the cam and spring on this air horn, I'm wondering if I can substitute a nice clean rebuilt air horn from another 1705?  I realize I'll have to change or resize the bleeds accordingly.  Thanks, Cliff.

Cliff Ruggles:
Those airhorns are similar, but not all the same on the later model carburetors.  Since the airhorn pretty much warps a the same rate as the main casting, it's always going to be better to keep the original parts together vs trying to swap in an airhorn from another carburetor.......Cliff
