Thanks for the follow up. When I get around to taking the head off measuring, if I do in fact have a 14hp and the larger exhaust valve I’ll pick up a #30 carb. For now I’ll run the 26, and suffer from potential depleted performance. Or am I potentially running lean?
Just say it- if I need to take the head off I’ll do it and stop asking scenario based questions

. But if I can run the smaller carb with no worries I’d rather go that route for now.
