Would a 48mm Blackjack carb be good for freestyle as a single setup on a ported 701?

reed spacers... differnt schools of thought so say it improves bottom end others say it removes bottom end

i ran a ski with and without and noticed zero difference between them

I am always cautious about using manifold spacers with single manifolds because you lose the centre bolt that holds the manifold on thus making air leaks more likely. If you do decide to use one be sure to use some 3 bond 1211 on all gaskets.

I recall manifold spacers in theory are supposed to reduce crankshaft turbulence on the reed petals...

Chris, I did use some sealant on all surfaces + I tightened everything like 4 times in different time periods. Should work fine. Hopefully you will tell me what curve I should use, once I start playing with the EPIC for real.
