[ROVERNET - UK] Eimination of the AED on a P6B ??

[Slatskars]

SU's are great carb's. Very simple and straight forward once properly setup. 
I would stick with them. A manual choke is relatively simple. You basically 
just want to pull down on the jet assembly, pulling it away from the needles 
to enrich them.
