No, you're right on track. I may not have been clear in my writing. I'm a fan of the V4 carb design and was simply making a point that they are...
Is it weird that I like V4 carburetors? They are really quite beautiful when you study them and when dialed in work quite well. On this note, I...
#90's front and back and different jet needles too... As noted this was for hot start issues. I would think #102F/#105R would be a better...
