    I know what you mean Joe but for me it was never Queen . Goose bumps and quivering mess would be Pink Floyd "Coming back to life" Fender 50th anniversary

    4.3 diesling

    Yeah , funny tho that I never notice that in any car ( Im sure the o2 sensors must tell the ecu bla bla bla ) but on a carbed motorbike it shows a difference . Ironic that I wait for a nice day .... when it dont run so crisp and spend half the trip lamenting it :):)

    Can you convert a 20HP Johnny to 35HP with a carb and intake manifold?

    Maybe you could have a look at the crazy Australians and their Dinghy derby race motors....and the racing itself .......pretty berzerk 😁
