I'm planning on getting the engine on my stand, and running it in Sunday. Now that the general consensus is that the matte finish is correct, I'll see how they work. -- www.myspace.com/tequilabrad __
In the first place those are not H1 carbs so they never came from the factory on a bug-i. You are kind of in a hard place because the factory finish wasn't polished and they weren't beat out with a h
I want correct, and ONLY correct. I am starting to see why the smog crap was originally removed, as it will be in the way when I do have to work on it, but that is what I want. Mike answered my quest

I'll chime in, I've cleaned a set up using metal polish and a wheel (pots that is) while I was able to get them pretty flashy a bit more than yours but not by alot mind you. It would be hard to get
