Forget the carburetors. How would you like to start the crazy thing? This is a big engine even for 1906-7 (era of Chip III). Those cylinder look like they are for a 5" diameter piston. Everything would have to be set up perfectly and you would have had use a crowbar sized starting bar. God forbid the timing is a little off.
