if it was named The Tarmac Warlock i would 100% buy one.
but yeah, a lot of people got stung by the old demon and that horseshit, myself included. so i can certainly see any kind of correlation being a negative, especially if you still had a bad taste in your mouth.
I have only ran mine for a few seconds but was happy with how it fired right up and idled perfect without touching anything.. but any carb should really do that.. can't wait to actually try it out
