So, who wants to tackle trying to tune this thing?


Could you imagine trying to trouble shoot a carb issue in this???

Just imagine trying to get 12 Motion Pro Carb sticks to all work at the same time. :angry: :angry: :angry: They would find you covered in blue stuff when you shot up the MC parts dept.

Better pony up and get the Morgans for this job.

Maybe if they put expansion chambers on those two strokes instead of a log manifold, they wouldn't need 48 cylinders.

Eh... seen it. Let me know when there's 50 cylinders. THEN you'd really have something.
