Yes we have stabilzer here, but when no one buys it...............

It is still a problem with the carbs, I asked the factory years ago
to drain them after the run, yet when we get some of the older ones 
in the carbs still have to be stripped and sometimes new jets fitted. 
Which is all warranty and costs the factory, do not see the logic there.
But what do I know?
