No, it's super-easy to change a vac sec carb into a dbl pumper. 2 easy steps:

1. Sell vac sec unit

2. Buy man sec (dbl pump) one


Done!!!

Taking the vacuum diaphragm off won't do it; that will simply change your 4-barrel carb into a 2-barrel with some extra weight stuck on the back of it.

Haha, no grass drags yet!

I think ill wait for an inch or 2 of snow before i bring out the mod, im sure chunks of frozen dirt wont cool it too well

I doesnt look like it will be very long before we get to ride though, the lakes froze up last night. Now all we need is some snow!
