Bob,
Before jumping the gun on Webers, You might give Joe Curto a call and
discuss the problem with him. It may be a simple matter of the wrong
metering needles for your engine. I went through that with HS2's before
I got it right. I experienced a full throttle lag in 4th gear as the
engine got to 4500 rpms. Finding the correct needle set solved the
problem.
Regards,
Joe
