    difference in carbs, 1995-130 Looper

    I have see several sets of carbs for 90 deg v4 loopers from a 1995-130 around. but I was wondering if the extra idle screw was worth the money to put it on my 1985-140. I do have a set of 6 peddle reeds to go with it

    bushings for throttle shaft

    looking at the 1980 crossflow 115 that I have here, I have never seen the shaft that goes through the carb housing so loose. that has to be a vacume leak. is there a bushing available or should I try to find another carb assembly for this 115

    difference in 115 and 140 crossflow

    I was wondering what was the difference between my friends 1979-115 and a 1980-140? is it just the bubble back exaust? cause the 140 has it the 115 dosent. and will it fit, and if it does will he gain anything? or is it carbs? any info will be greatly appreciated. thanks

    what pistons for rebuild? v4 looper

    I really dont know what I should put in my 120-140 rebuild. any input would help me. stock cast or hypereutectic? forged needs too much piston to wall clearance for my stock 3.50 bore and is kinda noisy. it wont be turning up past 6000. thanks
