I allways said that OMC should have drug tested their engeneers for some of the ideas they came up with.

As far as teh carb bases being warped, I've had good luck sanding them flat on a hard surface with adhesive backed sand paper , you have to let part of the body hang over teh edge

I would HIGHLY reccomend that you DON'T run the stock metal reeds again. They are an accident waiting to happen IMHO. I run TONY DOUKAS RACING REEDS in my engine, and will run them in all of my 2 smokes from now on. They don't warp and leak like BOYESENS do, and have all of there advantages. The pick-up tubes just press in. I carefully use a pair of medium sized pliers and wiggle them and slide em out, then just press em into the new ones. Just make sure that you press em in all the way(carefully).

I'll put them on a surface plate tomorrow.. They don't look warped, but you never know... And yes, it's criminal to make carbs out of plastic... talk about an accident waiting to happen...

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
