    I have-have had several of them. I like them. If you get them set up right, you don't have to touch them. (I suppose the same could be said for other types though) Sometimes they can be a little touchy about crud in the needle and seats, but if you have a good filter, that shouldn't be a problem.

    (you didn't ask, but it the following is good info) I use needle and seat assemblies from daytonaparts.com, they're not like the conventional rebuild kit parts, they have a broader "seat" area that is more forgiving to "crud"

    I suppose your intended use/application would play a part in your carburetor choice.....

    The AFBS were great and so were the AVS carbs...I was never impressed by the thermoquads,they were crap...
    I remember when hot rods were all home made.
