Hi Frans,

Looks like an interesting modification.  But I am wondering if there  
is any inconvenience with this system. If not, why did Rotax design  
the engine manifolds with a small balance tube?

This set replaces the balance tube between the carbs by a much larger
balance tube, so each carb can feed both halves of the engine. It also
doesn't matter much anymore if your carbs are balanced or not, you can
just loose a carb and the engine keeps running on 4 cylinders.>>>>>>>
