Saw something really odd today, in beginning work on an old 1891 150 V6 I had laying around. I have the OEM book coming. Im lots more familier with v4's.
This old motor has all 3 carb primer nipples capped off. The Primer lines go to Port Bypass cover nipples. There are a 2nd set of Bypass nipples right next to these that go to the front of the intake Manifold, recirc system apparantly.
Did this Vintage use a Primer that went directly into the Cylinders (bypass covers area)??
The carbs, By PN, are not from the '81, but a few years newer...So I'm not sure if the orig 1981 Carb even had a primer nipple on them, if this was considered a normal setup.
Seems odd to me, at first glance.
