    GX 2440 Comet 40 Series Hardware?

    I can order the intake manifold pretty cheap, or do you think a filter kit with upgraded main jet from Go Power Sports be a better option? I already bypassed the governor and will eventually break apart and take all out, just working on getting it running first. ed
