ahh i am enlightened. i get it now. sredish, i tried a set of stock carbs on mine and it acted the very same way. dead spot and all. it almost ran exactly the same but maybe not quite as much on top. i think the single carb would be sweet being that you only have one carb to jet. hell if it works then why doesnt everyone do that? im serisouly thinkin about doin it myself. id much rather jet one than 2 carbs. hmm something to think about
