1983 carb modifications

I see this in some notes on model year differences for 1st gens:

"When engine decelerating, all air/fuel diverted to front rotor to prevent backfire."

Can someone detail on how to remove this feature?

This is a pure race car this is for, not street.

Im also open on opinions concerning jetting changes for racing.

Im the leader of the Pro7 class I race with currently, but..more help cant hurt.

Cool..thanks for the welcome!

This last weekend was also my 35th bday, and it was a double-win weekend too.



Of course..now I have some noisy wheel bearings to find (as usual).

IIRC, 83s have small front bearings. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of 84-85 struts. Less bearing problems.

I'll think about that...once I burn thru my large pile of junkyard rotors all packed and ready to race.

Probly be next year before that happens.

The spindles last about 3-4 weekends before they go 'limp-dick' at the end and REALLY tear things up fast (pads, bearings, tires..)
