best bet is to change the carb from a os or a novarossi [ carbs that is half aluminium and composite ]to keep the temps down on the carb to get a stable idle and constant performance.
I agree on carb note you made as already installed carb from Nova motor. The stock pullstart motor is really performing now also with the Skyline VR 12 plus pipe and no mod work. Man I can catch TOP/Novarossi's! I do not know stock head shim size; Would you know the smallest I can go with 16% nitro? Thanks
