How many of you guys remove the Swirl from your B&S carbs?
I've been tinkering with a clean, little 3.5HP B&S I/C for the DB-30 swap. I plan to replace the diaphragm gasket set on the side of the carb, before I button everything up.
I was reading some information on how to 'Blueprint' a 5HP B&S carb for a kart racing class & one of the modifications they perform, is to remove the swirl.
Now... I'm not 100% certain that I know exactly what all the swirl provides & under what conditions it may be beneficial to have. Hell... I don't even know if this engine has a swirl or not. Do all the 5HP & smaller Briggs engines have the swirl?
So... What does the collective wisdom have to say about the almighty 'Swirl' and its impact upon the grand scheme of things?
Thanks

I sure hope I get some sleep tonight thinking about this Swirl.
