last week while racing my htb 360 tunnel my k/b 45 pro would die at bouy 1+2...tried adjusting needle , no improvement....so i got my bicycle air pump out and pluged the carb and the tuned pipe with small corks....be sure to disconnect both fuel lines and plug presure fitting....now connect the air pump to the fuel line fitting and start pumping air into the motor....i fill my motors with wd 40....once the motor is pressureized with air you hear and see where the air leak is coming from....my air leak was one lose screw holding the tuned pipe header to the motor case...after tighting lose screw the k/b ran great....bob
