[QUOTE="sgq700, post: 119744, member: 3318"] in my opinion, your main problem is "empi" i had a new one that never worked even close to ok!! i am sure that some might work , i don't know? that being said, if it is a VW carb and does not say solex on it... good luck! A bunch of us oldwing riders run a single carb and would never go any other way as all the trouble you encounter with the stock carbs go away. the stock set up works good when it works but they are getting very old and worn out. i ride 160 miles a day round trip to work and run one of stove bolt's carter/weber with a 2bbl to 1 bbl adapter right out of the box,elect choke and all and have no problems. i do not have the raw brute power that Joe has as if i whack mine to WFO it has a lean pop,i need to rejet but i doubt i will as it run's so well for me as is and i can still run 90mph to keep with traffic when needed. Don't give up! These old bikes are toy's.. not fuel injected crotch rockets!(aside from Joe's hot rod) and you can make it fun.. remember.. empi=trouble(it is from china,what do you expect?) [/QUOTE]
