Smart Carbs
Smart Carbs are self compensating for altitude and fuel mixture due to the on board monitoring system in the sled. Many riders have experienced problems with this electrical nightmare and have swapped to STD carbs to aleviate the issues. Now if you are running in the mountains where altitude is changing frequently during a ride they will be most helpfull but in the flatlands they are most bothresome. As far as standard maintenance is concerned, removing them and cleaning is straight forward and will effect performance if not cleaned during the pre-season shake down.
