minus-squareOnomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-21 month agoI wouldn’t be surprised, carbs are a Dark Art - the blackest of magic (I say this having cut my teeth on them, and I still don’t understand them). Bike carbs are simpler, but the small engines, minimal cylinder count, independent exhausts, etc, make them especially sensitive. Simply balancing carbs (getting all carbs to produce the same vacuum) can make a world of difference.
