Hi Geezer, I wouldn`t worry too much, got a Hypercharger on the Viagra and they face straight into the wind. Tickover gets a bit lumpy in the rain but other than that runs fine.

it`s only a matter of remapping the chip in your engine management system and any engine tuner can do that. It`s actually easier for you with carbs you have to change jets, needles and allsorts, or you have to cheat like I did lol.
