Hi,............................................... ..............

One last thing, at the start of this thread you show a prototype motor with an alum. carb. The motor I received had a composite carb which is okay because STS motors usually come with composite carb. Was this done as a cost cutting measure? Did you originally specified an alum. carb for any performance advantages? If I were to swap the alum. carb from a Novarossi or MT12 would I get any advantages or would I mess up the motors performance? Please advise.

Thanks.
On the contrary, a composite carb has an advantage over an aluminum one, it doesn't allow the fuel to evaporate and minimizes flame outs during hard racing. Sirios', Collari's, Picco's, Mega's and RB Rody tuned engines come with composite carbs also. It is an advantage now a days.
