PD18j versus PC20. Anyone have experience?

[ruckmaker]

Anyone have experience with these two and have a solid opinion between them?

As I'm learning to tune, I'm realizing there's things I should have done differently in the past (obviously). I went from a PD18J carb to a PC20, only because bigger=better. I'm loving the PC20, but I do kind of hate how finicky it can be with the constant tuning. And I changed up my intake since then, so much better airflow. Worth going back and re-try the PD18J? Or am I just being crazy.....

I'll answer my own question. I did a head to head comparison last night. PC20 by a good amount. I do love the smoothness of a CV carb, but tops I could get on PD18J is 39 and the PC20 is about 43. Same intake setup. Maybe CV carbs like a long intake (i was running a breather straight off the carb, like I do with the PC20, for the comparison), so maybe someday I'll do that. I don't know about resonance and all that stuff, so maybe that's what I'm supposed to.

That's the update. Carry on.
