I know quite a few people that would like to know peoples experiences here. I'm not interested in starting a sh#t fight between carb lovers and carb haters.. So please refrain from posting "carbs suck ass" and stuff like that. Just would like to know what people have found from using carbs vs injection.
I think (if setup right and done properly) carbs are a cheaper way to get the same power from an engine as injection.
I've personally had excellent results with carbs on a 4AG and also on my old 18RG.. My only probs were tuning between seasons and very cold starts (mostly the weber carbs on 4AG).. Apart from that they ran just as good as injection. No flat spots etc etc, perfect idle, awesome independant throttle sound and plenty of noodle to boot..
When i first had my 18RG, i hated the twin carbs, cause they were never in tune and had flat spots everywhere.. I took it to a twin carb specialist and was shocked at how perfect it actually ran with the internals (jets etc etc) matched to the mods (cams, head work) and a good tune.
