I little off topic but I just worked on a 2GC engine yesterday. This family friend, 93 year old man need help moving his Willy's Jeep with a 265 sbc in it. So I went to check it out, get it moving and it had a 265 with rams horn manifolds and a sock 2 barrel 2 GC carb that had a fuel leak. Had not been started in years. If fired up with carb cleaner, good sign. Fixed the leak and it ran just fine, glass packs, sounded GOOD.
Would not come up much in RPM but it was enough to move it. No brakes so that was interesting.
The install was pretty clean, he has had it for years and wants to sell it to me. Might do it but I am 6' and the seat does not go back far enough to get the steering wheel off my lap. Getting out in a hurry would not go well. Has a roll bar and my foot hits it getting out.
He also has a Honda Trail 90 in great shape. I am getting that for a track bike ! That thing makes me feel like a kid. Ran them all the time in the 70s-80s.
