that's it the engine is rebuild  : linkage  ,spark plugs wire , and the oil coller support behind the fan shroud  that parts take me some time to put the bolt /nuts , because no place to work behind the fan

and the statrter works well , the fuel arrived to the carbs , tomorrow i will put the balance tube between the carbs

question : the engine can he start without the  balancing tube Huh

If you speak about the tube between manifold, I don't think it can start without it. Air will come by the hole in the manifolds.
