[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 102942, member: 54"] Yes, the Weber put's mixture in control, where the stocks are virtually impossible to change jetting on. Sure you could shim the slider needle some, that is very limited, and there are still the idle and main jet limitations. Even if we could change these jets (of which there are NO choices available), what a job that would be pulling the rack for each trial. Then we have the slider springs. Springs fatigue and change value over time no matter what the length is. This changes everything as far as fuel mix goes. Then there's vacuum leaks at the throttle shafts. Ok so the deal as I see it here is.......you can have a vacuum leak(s) here and still have an engine run and perform good. But, if your trying to resolve running issues with those vacuum leaks, you cannot on the stock rack because they can't be re jetted. The idea that jet's do not wear is hogwash. What do you suppose any fine rust or sand particles that get past the filter and into the bowl are doing? Not much wear maybe but one step on a jet size is barely anything in difference and that can make a huge difference in how an engine runs. The Weber and VW plenum combo are a very nice step forward in reliability, simplicity, and keeping these bikes on the road. Not perfect, but a damn sight better than the stock carbs. [/QUOTE]
