RE: spitting gas


Stacks won't help your situation.  Spitting gas, to me, means the carb is
dumping unatomized fuel into the throat.  This could mean that the jet isn't
clean.  Also, as was my situation, the needle valve (that allows fuel into
the
bowl) may need replacing as a worn needle valve will let fuel continue to
pour
in.  Now, if this isn't what you mean then the intake valve probably needs
adjusting as it's closing too late.

I use K&N air cleaners.  They flow well and can be cleaned and reused many
times
before being replaced.
