Pretty negative comment dude....

"Negative" or "positive" would be in the eyes of the reader, but Panic's comment is SO TRUE!

If I had a dollar for every British sports car with FACTORY multiple carburetion that came in barely running because the owner had purchased a popular book on S.U. carbs that had erroneous information and tried to adjust the carbs themselves; I could buy Hawaii and retire!!!

Multi-carbs are great! BUT one's first experience SHOULD be with the old "master mechanic - apprentice" system. One really needs to learn hands-on from a friend who knows.

Not that it absolute cannot be learned by oneself, but easier with a mentor.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
