I've been looking at those for a while. I was wondering abt trying to tune it on the water. Jet changes on the water would be tough but air bleed screws would be easy. Just don't know how much the afr can be changed by swapping air bleeds only.

No, it's not that difficult but air bleeds would be much easier and faster, plus you have to dispose of 4 float bowls of fuel somewhere every time you change jets.

Yes but they are squarebore. The Carter Thermoquad was the spread bore version. I have a shelf full of Competition series 1,000cfm Thermoquads along with more than a few complete Carter Strip Kits that I've accumulated over the years.
