Re: Single Carb, is it for me?
I'm not sure it's entirely down to the corn syrup. I had an unmolested rack of 75 carbs with parts bike I acquired which had only one carb body out of 4 that looked like that. The others were like new so maybe material quality is a factor?

bingo, niche market, at bestroncar wrote:Most of the commercially available single carb setups (in the past) have been pricey, at least to me. As such they have not been an option to me. Even with their high cost, from what I've read, most of these commercial ventures have failed not from viability, but other reasons, (personal issues, sickness, profitability, etc.) Niche markets, with a limited audience, are tough.
