Message-ID: <2223@ihuxf.UUCP> Date: Tue, 29-May-84 13:41:36 EDT Article-I.D.: ihuxf.2223 Posted: Tue May 29 13:41:36 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 1-Jun-84 21:39:41 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 11 Could some motorcycle expert out there please explain why multiple cylinder motorcycle have a carburetor per cylinder. Why not use an intake manifold and avoid all the carb balancing problems. Please excuse my ignorance but I maintain my own cars and just purchased my first more than one cylinder motorcycle. All the vacuum gauge playing around, sounds like a pain. I think other readers might be interested in the replies. Rick Schieve
