Choke horn milled off and proper jetting, power valve, etc for my engine. Brent's carb guy has built numerous carbs for similar builds.

I am expecting it to be really close out of the box.

Full report will follow.

One way you can buy a new carb from Quickfuel is built to spec through the custom shop versus buying a standard off the shelf carb. As a builder or outside customer you can provide the specs of the vehicle, engine, use and driving characteristics and they will build it for you. There is no machining or milling for their all-new carbs, they use their QFT main bodies, slick billet metering blocks, and specific jets, restrictors set up for your needs. The best part is you can actually talk to them on the phone and they make it simple with no mystery.

I have a little more personal contact than that. One of the former carb designers for Quick Fuel builds my carbs.
