Anybody run one? They sure would make tuning a lot easier, juggling jets becomes turning a screw. The HL would work great for bore kitted bikes. Why does everybody prefer a bowl style round slide?

I hate Tilliston diaphgm carbs. I ran a set (8 throttle bores worth) on my Evinrude Super Strangler while boat racing and they were nothing but on problem after another. Maybe one would be less of a problem but reliable was not a adjetive I would aple to them.

What do you suggest that fully screw adjustable?

I've had no direct experience with diaphragm carbs, but the general consensus from what I've read is they seem to be OK for racing, but they are much more susceptible to changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature than float carbs and therefore require constant adjustment.
