Crazy as it sounds, I am in the process of switching to a Thermoquad from a Proform 750 double pumper.
I weighed both carbs.;
Proform = 10 lbs.
TQ = 5 lbs.
The Proform had gas in the bowls (couple ozs. maybe) but either way it's essentially double the TQ. Obviously the phenolic bowls are where the weight savings are but still, 5 lbs is a lot.
Lighter, more total CFM and cooler fuel = large bucket of win!
