It might just be the pictures, the rings look ok and the scuffing is very light.

I have a friend that raced these for years, he's ...

Well final update for tonight, went back to VM carbs, stock jets, runs just as good, but still have a problem I had all along. PTO side is weak, when running if if I put my hand over the mag side carb, kills engine. If I put it over the PTO side, barly slows it down. Mag side pipe is much hotter but...

So I can just re route the lines there? and plug off the fitting in the fuel lines before the carbs. I really don't like the stock method of having to wait for the bowls to fill up with th...
