    Twin or Single

    Its hard to go back. Twins are simply so choice. I have loved every minute of my time behind two throttles. Wish i could do more but its hard without a great deal, tremendous luck, or getting paid to do it....

    [NA]More "defective out of box; buyer must pay" bullNA]

    This is what they all look like inside minus the pump housing. If its 24 yrs old the gasket is dry rotted and maybe some electrolysis has happened.

    Struggling with lazy 8s
