Default Thanks all......

I've actually got the carb apart for a re-build, so it's a good time to do the surgery. However, the best idea might be to just buy the new throttle body. Keeps those nasty metal bits out of the garage and me from screwin' up something. Of course, I'll have to see what the fiscal damage is on that new body.

Have any of you guys been able to notice, or verify on a dyno, any improvement? I've got a turkey pan on it, so I'm limited on the filter size as well and wondering if taking the horn off will help in that regard as well.

Trularin, BTW, the carb is chokeless, so all it has is the horn and no plate so not much help with cold starts. I've just been setting the idle screw 2 turns faster and letting it run till it's warm, and then reducing the idle back down.
Thanks!
Scott
