Default RE: Hello

Wanting to know if anyone has had any Bad prob's with the Edelbrock Qwik Silver carb's.
I jus got through putting an 38mm on my 04 883. Doing good.
This makes the 4th Harley I'v put one on.
Jus need some feed back if anybody has had any Bad prob's with them. I'v had to do 2 dif things to them not to have any prob's.
I'v learned from an 95 sheet metal assembly I had with a 93 1340cc that had an Edelbrock already on it.
Thanks

I used a new one many years ago and never got on with it - got rid in the end. It was OK on a light throttle, but didn't work well in the cut and thrust of normal highway riding. Was it bad? - more likely not very good!
