RE: Anyone tried this motor yet?
fuel consumption is higher with the webra, yes.
the ability to draw fuel from the tank, ie the "suction" power of the carb is lower though. It's physics, a larger diameter pipe is going to have a lower velocity, and that means less of a pressure differnece to suck fuel from the tank.
So a larger carb throat will allow more air in to the engine, which means it can burn more fuel. But the engine is going to have a harder time getting fuel from the tank, making the fuel system setup more important.
