    The bolts / studs on the upper float bowls is where the factory flat spray shield was mounted. It looks by the shield you have it mounts the same way. The upper holes in the shiels mount to the float bowls, and the lower holes is where the brass fuel line nipples fit through.

    Not one of my new Konig's ever came with a factory spray shield. Early on, 1969 - late '70 something I would add one of my own. In '82 I just let the carburetors stick out and the 500 I run today has no spray shield. My thoughts: leave it off.

    I have cleaned the engine a little, I did not want to do a restoration like we do on our Mercury engine. This engine just looked like it should retain all of its battle scares. We have a foot ready to bolt on after I find a drive shaft and coupler. The foot has all new parts inside with a 12:15 ratio.

    I do not think the spray shield was ever used on this engine, following offered suggestions it just does not work. The other puzzle is how the pipes are fastened to the exhaust support. There are tabs on the pipes but there is nothing near by to fasten to. There must have been a bracket or two the connects from the pipe to the support.

    Attached are a few pictures of the engine todate.

    The pipes do not fasten to the support ... they slide back and forth via a cable ... connected to the tabs

    Get the driveshaft and coupler from Mr Litzell
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    The throttle only brings the motor up to about 7,000 or 8,000 with the pipes in the long position ... pulling the pipes short brings the rpm up to full speed.

    Many times alky racers can hold their throttle open for the full race and control the boat speed with the pipe length
