I guess I knew that would be one answer. I have read, however, that a progressive two bbl would perform better and get a bit more power and modern technology. As I understand it a progressive two will basically only use the second bbl once you get above, say, 40mph, but I could be wrong. I do agree, though, that a tune up will surely help as will replacing some leaky gaskets and getting the choke working correctly. Not sure who around here can really re-build a carb correctly either.
The progressive two just made some sense to me.
