<x-charset iso-8859-1>Compared to my stock 1584 in the Square. The 1679 runs at the same temp and both gauges have been calibrated. Square gets about 3 or 4 MPG less.. its heavier, but the Berg motor seems to run fine with the SH. Timing? Im running happily now at 35... I could probably go a little higher. Hard to Tune? I dont feel any harder... I think the problem people complain about is the fact that, at least with the stock carbs, you really are very limited as to what you can tune. Mixture is only changable in large incriments by changing jets, you cant change the amout of flow from the accelerator pump and the choke is archaic with no way to taylor its warmup curve in any fine way. When I go to FI, and can change each of these in a precise manner Im sure Ill have it running perfectly, but even with the carbs its running pretty well now.
