I'll be rebuilding the carbs on my SIX next week.
I wonder if I should do internal baffling while they're open. What are the benefits to this mod? Perry, Gint, JP, Brad, Lawrence, Sean, Root? Any other advice ( besides keeping the four ) would be appreciated. KT |

I've never been able to tell fer sure that the shafts are too far gone....but I've only run 2 sets of 3 barrel Webers.
From what I can gather, they're not too far gone till they leak so much air that you can no longer tune the hole (usually 1 and/or 4). All them springs in front cause the wear. I'm not positive, but think that the later IDAs have a teflon(nylon?) bushing at the front ends of each carb (1&4). This can be replaced fairly easily. IDTs ....no bushing..at least not on the set I had....you're screwed, Gint. Having this repaired is NOT CHEEP so I wouldn't do it "just because you're there".
