Devin--
I've heard people say that about having carbs located "off-center", or
closer to some cylinders than others. But every engine I've seen
that had such a setup has the spark plug "readings" showing the same
mixture at all cylinders. I think folks underestimate how well carbs
mix fuel and air!
