The mold is a negative image of the component to be made, so the fiberglass will be applied inside the mold, rather than around it. As in the mold-making process, release agent is first applied to the mold. Colored gelcoat is then applied.
The Fish delivered fuel through a number of separate jets, built into the throttle spindle, which gave better dispersion of the fuel as atomized droplets, thus good vaporization. For this reason the Fish did not require a separate cold-start device. [3] US patents were granted for the carburetor in 1940, 1941 and 1957. [4] [5] [6]
