I had it on mine.. not a bad deal really.. you still end up dumping the fuel out of the bowls through the plug obviously.. but it is nice not to have to putt everything apart.. as long as you get the plugs back in tight you should not have a problem, but unless you are going to be doing jet swaps alot.. it reaslly is not needed and can potentially be one more part that can leak.. and leaks are bad.. lol

Are you talking about the metering blocks with the adjustable needle valves for jets?

oh. i thought wrong then. Mine was jsut a fuel bowl replacement to swap out jets. without having to remove the fuel bowl (along with a bit of other stuff). I have seen what you are talking about though, never got my hands on one though...
