Carbs on long trips

Mr Lefty · 03-06-2008, 09:56 PM

I've been think'n of doing some long runs when I finally get to CO... and most are gonna take me through mountain passes and down into vallys... I'll be living at the feet of the Rockies... and I wonder...

What kinda issues am I gonna run into (if any) with power loss with a carbed bike? I know with EFI it auto adjusts and obviously I'm not gonna stop and adjust my carbs for every elevation change

will it even be that big a deal? just kinda wondering what to expect.
