1937hd45 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Is that a common modification, cutting off the bottom of the intake? Has someone cast up the missing piece, or do I start looking for a new manifold? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1910Hupp Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Butchered inlet manifolds are common to fit whatever Carb replaced the Breeze. Yours is unusual in that you have a Breeze (albeit a slightly different model which I think is taller so modified manifold accordingly ) No replacement piece that I am aware of but Phil has patterns to cast a new one -just search manifold on this forum . I have the patterns for the exhaust manifold . My concern would be that a new manifold may not allow use of the Breeze model you have . A new manifold is obtainable (just casting expense ) The correct H3 Breeze is very (!) hard to find . Took me 4 years (Ebay ) but haven't seen one on there for 7 years -Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1910Hupp Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Looking at the Breeze carb again I wonder if it would fit the original manifold it might not be much taller than the original -Hard to tell . At the end of your manifold there would have been circular fitting which had a screw in plug fitting in it . You screwed the plug in to draw heated air into the carb or removed it to increase airflow of unheated air from below (which is what most of us do as restricted and hot air intake severely reduces performance-but in the day encouraged combustion of the then poor quality gas ) -Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Correct Breeze carb is about 700-800 bucks. I think I know where a restored one is for sale, if interested let me know and I'll check. I also can send you an electronic copy of carb manual, it's 32 pages long! Very common to see intake manifold cut. Last 1911 I had was running an OF carb, no mods needed to make it fit....

1910Hupp Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 David I would have thought 700 to 800 would be cheap for a restored Breeze . Stan Howe probably charged Phil and I over 1/2 that to restore each of our carbs a few years ago..(and I don't regret a cent of it) Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
