OK, this is sort of related to Ts, in that the video features the biggest Kingston 5 Ball Carb you are every likely to see.
The carb is fully reverse engineered and made from scratch for a Roberts aircraft engine, which is itself, also made from reverse engineering.
Other clips show the engine started and running - 2 stroke monster from over 100 years ago.
An enjoyable and interesting project!

Re: Huge Kingston 5 Ball Carb
Great video, Adrian. Thanks. These amazing original engines were built right here in northern Ohio 100+ years ago. Roberts also made a marine conversion engine based on model T . Look at the high tech shop needed to do it today. Wrap your head around making these with ancient machines and tools. Kids don’t even know what a industrial arts program is today, sadly long gone.
