pop the top on your carb and in the back is a balance channel


its simple you just need piece of 3/16 fuel hose


cut it to the length that sits in the channel


press it in the channel


simple fix right


and now the fuel stays in the bowls better and doesn't slosh around and there still a small opening if one bowl over flows and needs balance
now your rollin with ole school tech.

I am no longer at Gotellis, they let me go 2 weeks ago, I was told they cant afford to pay me anymore, now its just Ted and his son....all that work stuff was getting in the way of racing anyways!
Im sure he'll have a great new permanent job pretty soon. Rod will announce it as soon as he feels he is a good fit there. So far very promising
