    i have a dropped base cleaner and my cleaner stud is about 3 inches taller than my air cleaner and the hood clears. goin out now to try it out. the instructions show to use the 4 hole spacer since my intake has 4 holes in it and use the open spacer with the intake with the 2 long holes in it.

    318 thought i listed that. need to learn to reread lol the carb has been gone throught but it has a surge at low speeds and it smells quite strong and gas mileage is terrible. not to mention the hard starting when hot that seems to be a common prob. also want an electric choke. since i dont have...

    eddy performer probs and question

    i assume so since its not hesitating after it starts. will look in it tommorow and see if i can see it squirting any gas. if the pump was bad shouldnt it still fire when spraying staring fluid in it? that doesnt seem to effect it either. the pump diaphram wasnt dry oy stiff when i took the carb...
