Good luck brcree. ......lm

carb

It's been my experience that you have to have a dream carb and spacer block only. The carb where it meets the spacer block on the head has a downward taper that aligns with a a cutout on the spacer under a steel ring. The steel ring in the spacer block will have a tiny hole in to allow fuel passage with slide closed. I have tried other carbs with no luck. I believe that the only way to ensure that your bike performs properly is as i have stated the proper carb and block. Good luck with your bike they are a wonderful machine. I have 2 dreams and 1 scrambler but love my 62 dream the most. Atlas
