My two cents

Yeah, don't mess with the intake ports. Just knife edge the bypass port for the first 1/2 to the port. Leave it untouched for the last 1/2 to the port.

Unless I missed something, I have not read ANY mention about the venturi sizes on KC carbs. There are a few rare exceptions, but for the most part, they range in size from 1 1/16th to 1 1/4"! As far as I'm concerned, only the 1 1/16th are worth messing with. The rest are too big!
The KA carbs are good with 1". Nothing wrong with KA7's. I also used KA2's and KA9's. You can go big time fast with any of those.

It's not the size, but how you use it. Well...that's MY motto anyway.

Oh yeah... I wanna know who Elmer is too!

There are lots of differences in the KA series carbs, just look at the carb charts from Merc - If you have a master service manual then you will have this chart.

2, get a flow test on a proper bench done and you will see why you do not touch the intake ports and why KC carbs are hard to get to work.

Elmer = Carl to his friends (Iron Fist is available at most books stores.)

arrrrgh

who's this Elmer cat???? Them **** Tohatsu fumes must be getting ya all crazy and chit!

Yeah Daren... no kidding! Brain got all fogged up. Managed to delete the message I was referring to, but not the one you quoted. Thx pal! Obviously I was drifting a bit.

I still like that bumper sticker, ie: "Earth first... we'll log Saturn later" and the other favorite from the Great Northwest: "Tired of logging?... try wiping yer butt with saran wrap".

Okay.. that's it... got to wind up the Dodge and go move some snow.

Did you get your parts?
