The reason I asked the question was that I recently purchased a BG General Competition Race Demon and partly converted it over to a Road Race model. I went with a General Competition model because I wanted the vacuum ports and did not want a 1:1 linkage that comes on the RR models. I installed road race floats and spring loaded needle & seats. Before I pulled the plug out of the secondary and installed a PV I wanted to understand exactly why I was doing so. Sounds like running a secondary PV makes a lot of sense - better part throttle and benefits from less fuel usage. I installed the second PV today and took a little curise around the neighborhood. No noticeable change is street manners which is good because I had the carb set up to my liking (No bog and a 12.7 : 1 A/F ratio under full load in 4th gear). Will be going to the track (road course) on 4/30 and will report any changes. I also plan to contact Stan and get a pair of those PV baffles.
