[Spridgets] More carb - fuel pipe question..

[Lester]

I've had one response from Charlie so far and I should add, my bowl tops only
have one pipe/opening.  These are not Bugeye H1's but I don't know enough to
tell ya what they are tho'..

Keep those answers/suggestions coming!

Thanks again Charlie,

Lester
