Hi Vance,
The piston rise the same amount. in both sets of carbs. The dampner is
shorter in the short neck. which allows the piston to rise the same.
These problems arise when you buy things on line and you assume all HS 6
carbs are the same.
I could probably swap a long neck dome for the short one, thats if I could
find one. Whats the chances of that.
These babies may go back on EBAY.
thanks
Al

Alan:
The airflow capability is not the same. If you raise the slide
in the short neck vs the long neck, you will see that the slide does not
rise as far on the short neck carbs... The long necks therefore have
slightly better air flow. It would probably be better to have them all
matched.
I am doing this from memory, so forgive me if I get it worn, but
this is what I recall. Check your carbs to be sure.

I have two sets of HS 6 waxstat carbs.
in One set of HS 6 waxstat carbs the brass butterfly is marked 21.5.
The second set has a shorter neck on the domes; and the butterflies are
marked
20.5.
The openings seem to be the same ( rough measurement with tape measure).
The lower chambers look the same.
I probably know the answer to this question already, but I've got to ask
it.
If these are basically the same carb; but with neck on one being
shorter;
could the short one be used with two of the taller ones on a triple set
up.
5/8 inch neck vs 1 inch neck on the domes.
I don't know the significance of the taller or shorter neck. Unless
the
short neck means its not an HS 6.
thanks
Al Salvatore
