Carb issue?

Here’s one lesson I’ve learned in 30 years of dyno testing.......

You know how to tell when the carb you have is a good match for the rest of your combo?

When you can bolt it on, make a few slight adjustments with the turn of a few screws...... and it just works.

If there are no issues with the motor itself....... the right carb “works”...... and the wrong one doesn’t.

I have seen that scenario play out countless times.


^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^ If you are going with a carb that isn’t actually set up for your combo you’d better make sure the carb is as tunable as it can be and that the tuner understands (as best as this kind of thing can be understood) what to tune.
