I like the air intakes on the FI Type 4, nice smooth pipes. Why do we have to put 4 carbs on the big type 4's to make them work?
Being an old V8 builder and racer I was wondering why we couldn't put a nice 400 CFM 4 barrel carb on a Type 4 with FI manifold and make it work just as well as 4 individual carbs? Is it the size of the carb?
Does it have anything to do with running some cylinders leaner/richer because of air cooling? Mixed fuel is mixed fuel and if the ratio is right then it should burn just as good?
Maybe Jake can chime in and explain.
