Probably too lean due to a leak at the intake manifold or clogged jets which often is the case on carbs that have been sitting. >But compared to what, and equal to what?

My 700cc motorcycle has four 34mm carbs on it. One must account for different head flow rates and such but you can still take the webers out of the box slap them on and sync them and run fine without blowing the motor up. As long as their are no air leaks, timing is right, and valves are adjusted correctly. Same with adding QP's. Single or dual. One of the most affordable alternatives to the stock exhaust without getting a noise ticket every other week. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
