If I wanted all engines to tune like a novarossi would all I have to do is put a novarossi carb on the select engine to make it tune like a novarossi?
Carb is one very important part of how the engines tune n run but more importantly is metallurgy ,the expansion/contraction rates of the engine block are HUGE ,the material the pistons are made of r HUGE , so many things to consider
