What happens here

Leonard stands next to a working half-scale engine, which he identifies as a 390 cubic inch Ford engine, characteristic of those found in classic vehicles like the 1961 Starliner. He confirms that the small engine he started earlier is running on the half-scale carburetor, showcasing its operational capabilities.

Goal: Showcase a running half-scale engine with a functional miniature carburetor.

Tools and materials

  • Miniature Carburetor Custom-made — Fueling the half-scale engine
  • Gasoline — Fueling the engine
