I have seen pictures on this forum of a lifting bracket fastened on the intake manifold where the carburetor sits. Is this a safe place to lift the entire engine from? It seems to me that the carb mounting bolts would be sorta small to hold all that weight, but that is also the most accessible point to use. Would it be advisable to use a home-made bracket at this location? I'm thinking of using a flat piece of steel that is a couple of inches larger than the carb base with chain fastening hooks just in from each corner. The plate will be mounted with the carb base in the exact center to hopefully equalize the weight distribution. Does anyone have any experience with something like this, or can offer professional advice? Any and all will be welcome!
