Re: 4bbl carb on 140 engine
Many repeat old wives tales about it, without ever having used one. Fact is, I have used one and found no problems with it.

I have never done an LM to EM swap so not an expert on that, but others will chime in.

Don't forget a Pilot Bushing also.

Re: EM - Axle rubbing on A-Arm opening
