    Possibly the worst, IMO, 2 non-fuctional carbs on a tri-carb set up. Who are they trying to fool and why?

  6. Those are the guys who can't get the end carbs to close off completely at idle. It's a huge pet peeve of mine also.

    I'd list the one that bugs the **** out of me but every time I say something about those things someone gets offended. lots better things to spend 300+ $$ on on your high boy roadster though.
