That’s 1 reason I been debating puttin the pd carb on lol prob keep a stick carb in a toolbox for any Amazon motor related 😊 How’d you like the gains otherwise? Over a stick carb?
@TheDuke5394 күн бұрын
Carrying a spare carb would be a good idea just in case. Went ahead and ordered a steel replacement manifold so, worst case scenario, I can reweld it. Seems like it's been a bit of a trade off between ease of use and performance. The PD is a little more difficult to start, no one pull starts like the stock carb. It's always 2 or 3. Maybe a bit more finicky too. As they say - reliability, affordability, performance. Choose two.
