EMPI 44 HPMX Carburetor | 44mm IDF-Style Downdraft (Carb Only, Single-Carb Jetting)
EMPI's 44 HPMX 44mm carburetor jetted for single-carb installations — the largest HPMX-series carb available as a single-carb setup. It offers precise air and fuel metering with fully adjustable circuits, changeable jets and venturis, and an adjustable accelerator pump. Includes chrome velocity stacks. Tuned richer than the dual-setup version to handle single-carb fuel demand on big-bore Type 1 builds.
