Cmb 80 with mac carb

[Drew St. Amant]

I have some cmb 80s and I need a carb that can be flipped etheir direction and still open forward. I've contacted a couple carb manufacturers and all that I have been able to get in contact with have been out of stock and are not sure if when or if they will be again. My question is other than obvious problem of getting them to fit can a mac 84 carb run well on a cmb80 hr or has someone tried this before? It would seem that more people might be willing to let a few of these go where as a speedmaster or kre carb are much harder to get my hands on

As you may already know the CMB 67/80 is the same block. The Mac 84 carb will fit with a little work. If I remember the bore for the MAC is larger. Hang in there for a bit, there should be lots of replies to your request.
