Status: offline 		I am not sure how many parts were the same from the KBV .82s and the K&B .82s. I think Bob ran his own carb design and his own piston and sleeve design. I am not sure about that, but it does stick in my brain for some reason. The KBVs always ran better than the K&Bs did, that is for certain.
