.675 bored carb vs VM22

[shadowfocus603]

Title says it all. Both are the same price so what would you all think would be the best? I am not constrained by any rule set and simply want max power. Engine in question is a Hemi 212.

The bored carb is for rule regulations in certain clone classes. The vm will always make more power.

VM22.
Ugghhh. I hate dealing with the linkages when using stock style carbs.
Plus the Mikuni, or knockoff, is designed to work on a motorcycle instead of a lawnmower. You will get better throttle response and more power with the mikuni.

I agree with all ^

How do you mount a Mikuni carb to a clone? Is there a special adapter or do you have to fabricate something?

Here is my version of a Stage 1 kit.
Can be had for $101 (similar to omb’s price which eBay shipps for $95) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/172018341559

For $6 extra you don’t get a muffler, but you get a much better carb and a throttle cable.

Do you have a link for this kit?

Do you have a link for this kit?

If I packaged it and sold it to you it would cost you like $150. Probably more with eBay and PayPal fees. $165?
$15 fees. $25 for my trouble and ~$25 for shipping??? Plus I would have to stock different cables, keys and exhausts.

I suppose a nice package including the manifold, the carb, and the filter would have to cost at least $75 shipped to make it worth it to me (assuming it I can ship it for $12 or less). $85 with fees?

So what I'm saying.... Buy the stuff individually, cut out the middle man's middle man, don't pay for double or triple shipping, click on the link's I already gave you, save yourself a 50% mark up, have a pleasant day, happy holidays, and a great new year.

And the cheap filters, at least the cone one I linked, didn’t last very long before it became unglued.
Just a heads up. These might be better. https://www.dimecitycycles.com/vint...-lightweight-39mm-velocity-stack-12-6639.html
