carberator question

The factory 2v Motorcfaft 2350 carb is the best you can have on a stock engine like yours, they are very easy to rebuild, even if you've never done one before, spend $20.00 on a QUALITY, NAME BRAND kit, and float, and $5.00 on cleaning solvents, and you'll be glad you did!!!

My carb has never been touched in half a million miles... Still fires up great when cold, kicks down nice once warm, and never backfires.
If ya want more power, aftermarket intake for a 4V carb, then get a 600 - 650 CFM unit.
