Proven in racing

Marco Abate from Pacemaker SC Deggendorf is very successful in scooter races at the European Scooter Challenge (ESC) and has already tested the Snakehead carburetor cover, here is his feedback on the covers:

... The guys really thought about it and developed something useful. The workmanship is top-notch ... First, take the old cover down: remove the slide, spring and sealing ring and put them back into the new cover. The seat of the sealing ring is nice and tight and worked deep enough. The slightly longer guide for the slide spring is also impressive. Here I see the advantage that the spring does not lose as much tension by slipping as with the Dell'Orto lid. You can feel it when you let go of the throttle, at least on my racing scooter. So, now the lid on and screwed tight, of course you take the ´crews´ from the old cover again. The throttle cable briefly readjusted and the first trial round turned…. First driving impression: Great ...Mark Abbot
