Re: carbs vs efi

For me, I have to agree with the pro EFI side of it. It is easier to tune for me. I had dual sidedrafts on my 18RG and they never ran right. I switched out jets and throats and all sorts of things and they just still never ran right. Sometimes they would be OK, then the weather would change and I c...

shaving a head.

Alright, since I'm slightly worried that my head may be warped a little... I am taking it to the machinist. I was wondering how much it can be shaved, and maybe a rough number of how much power I will gain. I don't know much about it other than it will raise my compression a little and assure the pr...

Here's what I do know: -no signs of oil and antifreeze mixing -no white smoke ------that makes me assum...
