EMPI 30 PICT-1 Carburetor — Modified for Off-Road, SCORE Approved (98-1287-B)

For the hardcore competitor, EMPI offers this modified version of the popular 30 PICT-1. Baja 1000 tested and SCORE approved, the float bowl is externally vented to help avoid fuel slosh and flooding on rough terrain, the old vent tube is removed and plugged, the fuel inlet is threaded with a supplied screw-in fitting, and dual return springs guard against a stuck-open throttle. The choke assembly is removed and plugged on both sides — purpose-built for race and off-road use only.
