Banzai...you got me confused... here you say you have a tough time tolerating "ALMOST PERFECTION to accept half assed, carelessly planned, negligent oversight" but on another post you said that carburetor flat spots  were acceptable and we all should learn to live with that....Please explain. I know you will have something to say about it.....Bruce

YES SIR..more than happy to: "I" NEED to because my 11 year old WEBERS have some small air leaks. My mechanic offered to remedy them with a pair of NEW PMOs for $7000 or $4500 to rebuild the WEBERS. WEBERS almost always, over time, develop these leaks around bushings, etc that CAN cause flat spots......TINY flat spots! I'm NOT of the mindset to drop some large BUCKAGE at the moment...... More than happy to RETRACT the "WE" and substitute "ME" in that I NEED to learn to live with that.

When PMO came out with their CARBS, they eliminated ALL of the short comings in design and engineering of WEBERS except that some FOLKS are hung up on the WEBER name....despite the fact that PMO is largely a SUPERIOR product. SO....its "ME" that has accepted these flat spots....YESSIR...MY PROBLEM..MY CHOICE and my mechanic thinks that I should keep the WEBERS for originality/historic purposes and allow him and EUROMETRIX to rebuild/rebush/remachine my WEBERS!

But....if I may BEG for mercy....the flat spots are almost negligible and small...but THEY ARE THERE...much to my CHAGRIN
