Howzit Everyone ! I'm about to fit a 3Y engine into my project and would really appreciate your help in working out some of the plumbing. Looking at the photo of my carby can anyone tell me what the pipes marked 1, 2 and 3 connect to ? I'm guessing that one of the smaller pipes goes to the vacuum ad...

Thanks for confirming that it is a V belt Mud Dog. Sadly I need a multi groove pulley for my conversion. I' ve come across a few aftermarket suppliers that do stock the pulley, but all of them are the v belt one. I'll have to rethink my plan. Thanks again.

Looks like 4Ys have quite a following in South Africa so I'm hoping there may be someone on this forum who can point me in the right direction. I have a 4Y engine that I am wanting to transplant into a...
