[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 185946, member: 98"] all it takes is slides that are a bit sticky or vacuum leak and carbs go way lean...1200 carbs are usually better at not being lean ....still there couldnt be a more piss poor set up to try and keep dial in right .... at there best CV carbs start off lean ...CV carb are always late reactors by design ....the motors always need the gas way before they get it ..this cuts power at low rpm hugely....and if they get off any at all it stumbles and spits and can hardly get going cause there right at the edge at there best ... yes the crap alky gas of today makes it even worse ...atf in gas helps this some and also cleans things up while running.....pretty much and i hate to say it ....the design for the boxer oldwing motors is just poor ...just about anything trips them up....not trying to discount just trying to point out how difficult this can be ...as passages and jets float valves are all small and that means there a small window where all this works ok...certainly not a clean and go and be happy deal x4 [/QUOTE]
