Hi Michael,
You are quite correct. My contention is that properly set up &
maintained carbs don't flood in the first place. As I said earlier, I
have never had a SU carb flood. It appears that the designers didn't have
confidence that folks would properly maintain the carbs & fuel system.
This flooding thing must be much more prevalent than I realized. Still,
it is curious that very few other manufacturers chose to go this route.
I respect your views on this. I said at the very first that my opinion
would be controversial.
Best to you,
Dave Russell
