[SPAM] RE: *SPAM* [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: Re: [SPAM] Re: Moki 180

[Atwood, Mark]

I've missed half this discussion, but in answer to this...I'm running a Moki 1.8 in a Midwest Extra, with a Cline regulator and the fuel tank sitting back on the CG...and it's actually well below the carb too...and it works flawlessy.  

NO chance without the Cline...after adding that, no problems.  Just make sure you follow the direction that says to have it as close as possible to the intake...that makes a difference.

Jim,
         I don't know if the carb will like the Cline regulator so I didn't 
state that as a solution. I don't have my Moki any more so I can't back that 
idea up with a test.

Regards,

Eric.
