Just a Q

« on: March 17, 2007, 17:52:24 pm »

i was just browsing youtube for 48 IDA clips

i found this one, and i was just wondering is this a typical take-off for an engine with a soggy bottom end, a bad clutch, crappy driving, or what?

p.s. holding the steering wheel like that is just dangerous and it looks so uncool

JeePee took away like this at the traffic lights during the tour of a few weeks back...
I guess that's and IDA thing. Large carbs = poor mixing of air and fuel because a lack of air speed and turbulence...

My Berg 52:s never hesitated and they have 17% bigger area than a 48IDA. t is all in the tuning and choice of components.
