[QUOTE="akolleth, post: 144762, member: 3987"] The reason I am going single carb is because my original carbs are trashed. My carbs need a complete rebuild, plus they need at least 2 of the float towers rebuilt (leaking into the plenum), and the PO apparently didn't know what JIS screws were as at least a couple that I can see are already stripped. So already going into it I would be looking at least $250 to do it myself plus a whole lot of time and energy, and a whole lotta hoping and praying the stripped screws won't be a deal breaker. For my circumstances with a trashed carb set, the conversion to single carb is a no brainer. The conversion is not for everyone as its not plug and play. it requires some level of mechanical and engineering aptitude. But it is right for me and for my budget, as I can get it done for all told around $125 out the door. Its already been a challenge to come up with the mechanical adapters, choke mechanisms and the like, but part of that for me is the fascination. When I am done with it I will be able to look at it and have a bit of pride at what I built. [/QUOTE]
