very interesting point of view, from the experience i have had most carbs that i find now have been messed with and rebuilt so many times that they are better suited as boat anchors, the main throttle shaft is so worn and the vacuum leak will never let it run right , not to mention the rebuilds were done by people who arent exactly experts . and i have to disagree with the fact that you dont seem to care for demons, i have never had a carb that has run so good right out of the box , i have had nothing but good luck with them and little or no problems at all
