It's kinda funny to think that there is still carburetor development happening in this day and age.

Esp considering they cost just about as much as EFI. The only reason I bother with junk ass carbs is, cause I haven't scored EFI for $50 yet....
I used to like leaning over the fender changing Jets, but not no more....

Uncle tony sez holley told him they will phase out all carbs soon. They will make only electronic fuel systems. So all the lines holley owns like qft and proform will be gone along with holley carbs

Ok so, this guy “ thunderhead289” has begin to market that little invention he created to make the little lawn mower carb work. Reread this topic. He aint the average car tweaker, he adapted an idle air solenoid from a modern efi setup to a digital control that maintains vacuum levels, and creates a mechanism that controls idle air, and will control the A/F ratio too. He calls it “ carb cheater” and it really looks like an awesome creation. Its really generating a lot of interest since he has showcased it . Check out “ thunderhead289” channel on you tube, for the “ carb cheater” . I was pretty impressed with this little device, so much i asked him if he thought about making and selling some. Well he is doing it. I dont know if he patented it , but the chicoms will rip it off and soon its going to be something. I dunno if any of you guys bracket race… but think. A carburetor, with the consistant a/f ratio and idle of fuel injection. Its a fantastic advantage for a bracket racer. Your tune will be much more consistant throughout the heat and pressure changes of the day. This little gizmo is going to be big with carbureted racers. Its a massive advantage. It’s also a major refinement for your economy tune. You can literally retune your entire carb a/f spectrum from the drivers seat. Anyways give his videos a look. “ carb cheater: what is it-Q&A” is a good introduction

Well he coulda called it a “carb a/f stabilizer” … not much zing in that, maybe “carb zinger “would provide some zing… He coulda just put a flamin skull on it. Those sell pretty good. If you watch his introductory vid, he says that he has recieved a bunch of negative shit on it. Which is par for the course. Its such a basic simple and elegant fix for a carbs major shortcomings naturally he is going to get a bunch of bullshit abuse for creating it. He should target the gaymc faction. He could call it the group 19 modulator. Or maybe the mark donahue in a box. Or lil dannies secret sauce-atator. Naming it seems pretty insignificant.
