Thats BS.
Careful now. You'll have your post deleted for "being argumentative".

The TH .75 has a great carb.

The guys complaining about "burbling" carbs haven't bothered to spend 15 minutes actually adjusting the low end properly. The engines are almost always rich from the factory and need to be adjusted for your prop, altitude, fuel and temperature. The carb has needles for a reason--so you can adjust the engine for best performance.
Clearly, you haven't read the posts documenting problems with Tower .75 carbs, at least one of which was solved by a carb change (supplied by Tower). Every Tower .75 engine I have seen has had a good carb, but I'm not silly enough to assume that what I have seen pertains to every Tower .75 engine out there. Are you?

Go back and read the posts where the carb swap solved the problem. If you think the poster is BSing or is an inept tuner, call him out directly.
