SuperTiger .60 BlueHead

Its really easy for small carb holes to get clogged up. I'd remove the needle valves, check the to ensure that the o-rings seal properly and soak the entire carb in a strong solvent overnight or two.

MDS .48 question

Anybody use the MDS .28? I'm thinking about putting them in a twin project. Are they user friendly and easy to adjust? If they are anything like the .58 and .68, i'll be happy.
