I agree Summit is an excellent resource for this and many reasons, but if we abuse their liberal return policy, it WILL end; the bean counters will see to that. Most vendors have changed their return policies lately, can't see how Summit won't if it costs them too much $ in the long run
As far as *trying* a new carb, unless you spend the time and $ to tune it to your engine/needs, it might very well be a useless exercise - let's hope it comes out of the box ready to run as is. How often has that worked for you? Me, not so much...
Fieroboy, it seems you have a narrow issue, your fuel curve; tune your carb and go have fun - I guarantee you, it won't be the last issue you'll have with a unique build, but have fun in the processBurning gunpowder and gasoline daily for over 20 years and counting!

Yea doing that to summit would be like buying a suit for one occation to look pretty an then returning it. Im not in to the scam artist kinda thing. I have a guy coming over tonight thats a local stock car racer at our local track an he said hes really good with the BB motors he's coming over with a avenger series carb he said the DP carb is probably too much. he said he's bringing a 750 avenger. I said I already have a 750 DP but he said a DP will dump more fuel even if there the same CFM so an I think I might just run straight pipes out the side of the car behind the rear tires. an use a super trap style exhaust resonator tip with the plates an what not to try an quiet it down. I dont mind the soundI can only drive it 20 miles at a time any way.

I think you misunderstood what I posted. I meant if the new carb worked then you were good to go. As in keeping and using it. I didn't mean to imply abusing their generous policies. I also know if it didn't work they would understand and take it back. Not meant as an abuse, sorry you infered that just trying to offer help that won't cost an arm and a leg. Good luck."

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
