[T2] speeded-up vid of 'T1' engine

[Robert Mann]

Thanx Bob for mentioning Weber carbs.
That prompts me to mention the carbs made in Brasil with a bold W facing
rearwards but no actual word Weber; the brand is Brosol.  I have one on my
1600 and like its economy, tho' it is only 30mm (for some obscure reason
termed '30/32') and continues the 'choked off' approach which starts at the
tiny air intake to the oil-bath aircleaner, so I'm achieving economy at the
cost of power.  If you can get one cheap, snap it up.
