I would think it would be really hard to tune. With more fuel you need more air. These motors gain hp as you lean the mixture.

The carb is a pumper carb, it has a fuel pump built into it. it absolutely must be used as it came factory. The gasoline goes into the bottom of the carb- and the excess fuel comes out from the top of the carb - and goes back to the gasoline tank. just saying to keep ya on the right track--help ya.

Deffo don't do this, 2 strokers don't need the pressure in the tanks like nitro cars do, if anything you want to vent your petrol tank to let the fuel pump do its work, not pressurise it :)
