dam well I sure hope my carburetor isn't warped, it's brand new and doesn't even have a thousand miles on it. It's a quick fuel super street series supposes to be made of good billet aluminum. And I have never over tightend the carburetor nuts. I always torque them to 8 ft lbs. I sure hope the carburetor isn't warped, I would probably cry. paid 560 bucks for that thing.
