i ahve those carbs on a 2276. i like them myself. it took little time to tune them in but after that worked great all last year. throttle is very crisp and responsive. idle jets do seem to glog easily though. thats the only complaint i got though

mine came with a motor i had bought. they were a mess when i got them. one was set to run as a single on a 2180 and the other was missing some parts. i took them to la products in akron and they helped alot! got the jetting really close for me and had the parts i needed. from there some friends helped and taught me the rest.

Give Tim at Southern Buggies a shout 606 864 2271. He knows how to fix the Empi problem right out of the box and then ship them on to you.
