I had twin carbs on a 173, ran great for 3 years then thought i might try a single carb on a standard manifold and the power increase was unbelievable

, unless it's a worked motor I wouldn't bother

Probably better they don't either. Although you will have nice clean bores as the excess fuel cleans 'em.

No huge power increase, your motor will only suck in and use the correct amount of fuel, add more fuel and you start fowling plugs and pushing unburnt fuel out your exhaust, Trev
