Re: Carb angle?
That's close enough - doesn't have to be the exact angle, just very close to 15.5mm level. I do angle mine when wet testing though.

Re: Carb angle?
Nothing to do with the workbench being covered in junk.
Actually, have a hip that has turned to mush so for a lot of things i have to sit while working on them.
Leak test is definitely done outside.

Umm.
I'm really digging that carb holder thingy.
What is it and where did you get it?
P.S. That work space is sweet!

Mouse, it is a bench stand for bicycles.
I saw one for the first time a couple years ago at a bicycle swap meet. I got this used one for around $25.00
They can be bolted/screwed or clamped to a myriad of surfaces.
Like anything there are a huge variety of them. Height adjustable, rotational, metal or plastic clamping jaws.

Well smack me upside the head with a 2x4.
My nephews have been successfully competing in Mountain Bike racing for the last few years, so I have seen lots of bike stands. Heck, I've got one myself in the garage, so I should have recognised it but, I've never yet encountered a bench version. Great job of re- purposing.
